I agree that I'd tell Frannie to SEEMEAFTERCLASS for that formula up there. Some math-based answers: BASES, SOLID, ROD, NET, EST, GAUGE, OCTETS and ONE. Nice solve time, Philbo! My own was 7:58; fast-ish for a Wednesday for me.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-39435880207029196742021-05-26T14:25:34.111-04:002021-05-26T14:25:34.111-04:00Beautiful work and a really fun solve!

Very clever! <br /><br />I whipped thru this at Mach speed (part of why the theme escaped me) and would have been sub-5:00 had it not been for INGA, which I'd put in as INGE. Never heard of 'MEEMAW' before! So I had to root that out, and settled for 5:04.Philbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043217968097552604noreply@blogger.com
