This times a thousand.

And it made 4 a fun Saturday: I went 4th to experience a 4-tuitous Week 4 solve!

Looks like Matt gave us a week 2 or 3 to balance out the month?

In at #16. Had a little difficulty with the last part, but overall my rabbit holes had rabbits.

#26! Haven't been there in a long time! Looking forward to a 10 badge next week (knock on wood - I have missed a week one #366)

So, I've got eight letters............

Beamed up. Maybe a tad easier than last week, but still pretty challenging.

Loved this puzzle! Week 4 SOLO SOLVE!
Edit: on the board at #30. And ALL HAIL @BrennerTJ for her century badge!
Edit #2: Wow! @HeadinHome (aka Other Wendy) got her century badge as well!

Well, If I got it (and I don't see how I couldn't) that has to be the easiest week 4 ever of all times.

Yes, I know that is the E-word and very naughty and taboo, but.... this was a week 2 at worst. If we do decimals I'd say it was a week 1.75.

EDIT: Beamed at #38.

Awaiting beamage here, but confident. Solved w my wife, and while we are of one mind, i’m gonna have to put this down as a non-solo solve

[confirmed, on at #43]

Awaiting beam.
Brief panic after seeing nothing and reading comments - but ended up being fairly Easy-Peasy, thankfully!
Very clever construction.

Edit beamed! I’ll take top 50 given I was up a ladder, precariously perched on a winding staircase installing a light fixture when the puzzle came out… lol

It would be really interesting to see what people would rank this one - like when Matt did that one week. I'd say 2.5 or so.

On the board at #41 with a solo solve!

Confidently submitted and awaiting a leaderboard update. Solo soooooooolve.

(I hope I’m right or that early celebration will be embarrassing)

Edit: confirmed at #51. Embarrassment avoided.

Submitted and waiting beamage.

Edit #55

Beamed up! First solo solve of a Gaffney week 4 (previously did this with a week 4 by a guest constructor). Also first full month of solo solves. I'll enjoy it while I can - I'm sure to return to reality soon enough

Had to backtrack out of a deep rabbit hole but now have confidently submitted

Submitted. We'll see if correctly.

Submitted my answer and am waiting anxiously to see if I am correct. If I am not, I will go from 96 to 0!!

Phew! On the board.
