4^2 = 16Bob cruise director wrote: ↑Sat May 28, 2022 11:44 am We have 16 on the ship (perfect for a bridge tournament) and 125 on the shore (perfect for a drinking game)
5^3 = 125
So I'm expecting 6^4 = 1296 submissions this week.

Drinking on the ship.
Isaac has no nudge for me.
Still plenty of time!

🏝 ON SHORE 🏝 finally!! I needed a little nudge from @ship4u to look harder at the original mechanism I’ve been trying since Thursday! I was have a “meta-block” in a couple of places! Could be because my brain is tuned into my 3 and 1-year-old grandkids! 
Margarita me!

I’m afraid I’m still with Isaac. I,too, have been staring at the grid all weekend. I’ve had many ideas, but none have been fruitful this far.

Ashore! Just finished the grid and had a pretty good idea of where I needed to go. Fun one!
Arizona Desert Museum earlier this week. On our way home this evening. Have a great weekend everyone!

Ashore - this week was easy for me and one I needed for my previously sad losing streak!

Welcome to the retirement fold, Hunter X! If you were a Monday to Friday slogger (not counting the sleepless nights and weekends), are you gonna love your first cup of coffee on Monday morning minus the alarm clock!

I have a whole lot of nothing. My streak of waking up and solving it on Saturday morning is over.

Thanks! Yes, I was a M-F slogger. And with the pandemic, I was lucky enough to work from home, which I appreciated, except on those days where it meant I ended up working all evening, sending off my last email at 1AM.
As for the alarm, my fiancée is getting ready for the time trials for the US Dragon Boat team again. (She's competed for the US several times on the women's premier team.) So hers goes off between 4:30 and 4:45 most mornings.I imagine I'll get used to falling back to sleep.
And you have NO idea how much I'm looking forward to that first cup!
Well, actually, you do.

I am stuck - LAS. I'll pick it up again during the Houston Seattle game tonite. Initially I thought it would be simple. But I'm missing something.

On shore.
The problem with looking in all the right places, but with not quite the right mechanism is that you KNOW you gotta be close to solving it. So you hesitate to change what you're doing.
Actually, part of what I was missing had jumped out early on. The other part, however, was more elusive and I was too lazy to 4-A.
It would have helped if I had left more room between the various parts on my worksheet.
Thanks to @ship4u and @WendyWalker for the Zoom meeting and @DBMiller for the demo.
Thanks to Mike Shenk for some nice clean fun. More fun than a barrel of macaques.

Okay! I’m ashore! I finished up my day’s tasks a little early and was all ready to go to bed when I remembered noticing something of interest in the puzzle yesterday, so I took another look at the meta and … voila … the answer fell in my lap! And so to bed …

Got it, finally. Had the right idea at the outset, but took time for the pieces to fall into place. On shore.
