After confirmation from a friendly Muggle, I feel confident in saying I'm ashore.

On the beach! Would have been quicker if I hadn't had a typo in exactly a spot that was important :-D

Yes we osteo stop while we are ahead (well a leg I guess, or at least that is what she is alegging)

I might as well make puns because I'm not seeing this one - of course not, everyone have solved it so it must be one of those "easy" ones that always haunt me.

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

How fortuitous. Just arrived on shore with this one - and now ready to start Matt's Friday puzzle.

On the beach! This was a fun one. Impossible, then improbable, then WAIT! That is what I need to do!

Finally got there with a confirming nudge. Had to backsolve part, but I guess all will become clear . . .

I do believe I've hit the shore..the attitude on display in the title put me off last night (ok, so did a grumpy dog, laundry folding, poorly chosen sports bets and 7th grade Greek Mythology homework) but the first idea popping into my head this morning was the right one.. I mean it has to be, right? Did everyone else reflect on the answer for a minute and double check a couple things before submitting?
