The cat has bolted from the bag!

I’ve submitted and am awaiting confirmation. Very cool! Though I’m perhaps unclear on one thing, which I’ve put to Josh in my submission. We’ll see.

UPDATE: Confirmed!

I'm apparently allergic to cats this week. Counting down the days until some spoilers to come out.

LOL, at this rate on New Year’s Eve I will still be saying “I have nothing on Counting Down”.

Something I noted in a PM to Josh: I felt exceptionally lucky to have solved this puzzle as relatively easily as I did. Somehow I happened to quickly notice something in a way that I almost never do. Then I more or less worked backward to the method.

Which is to say: This one isn’t easy, but it IS do-able. And the solving, for me, was very satisfying. So don’t give up!

Answer submitted but I noticed a slight issue. I like my chances though.Update: Confirmed, and the issue was mine, not Josh’s.

Cat's out, I think! Not exactly the intended path, but I got lucky. (Pretty much like what @ChrisKochmanski said above, except it took me longer!)

After a struggle, the cat is free.

Solved, but needed a slight nudge to get me started on the right path. Interesting puzzle!

Looking forward to some nudges posted here also… been staring at this one for some time. There must be a way of thinking about clue # (bleep) that I just haven’t thought of yet! ( :

^^^ What he said!


I suggest solving this puzzle while standing on your head

There is no nineteen down ... so what could nineteen down possibly mean? (see nudge #1)

It's a brand new year, we should look on the upside!
