Dear MGWCC Solver,

This week’s puzzle will run at noon ET tomorrow, Sat. Sept 12th, instead of today. Main reason is that I had to prepare for and the participate in this very fun talk, which took place yesterday:

Next Thursday there will be a similar talk but focusing exclusively on metas, again with Mike Miller, Mike Shenk, and myself. I’ll post the particulars of that tomorrow with the puzzle.

In the meantime, while away the hours with my current WSJ meta, which is a Week 2.5 or so in difficulty:

Anyway, apologies for the delay and I’ll see you back here tomorrow at noon.
