LAST WEEK’S RESULTS:
Instructions last week read: What (specific!) Winter Olympics event is suggested by each of this puzzle’s theme entries? Our four theme entries were:
17-A [Public assistance high in the Rockies?] = DENVER DOLE
30-A [Noisy dog outside a clothing store?] = ROSS BARKER
44-A [That he could come back to life and show Scrooge the error of their ways?] = MARLEY HOPE
58-A [Origami bird made by poet Thomas?] = DYLAN CRANE
Each of these eight words is the surname of a famous person named Bob, making each of these entries, if you squint hard enough, a TWO-MAN BOBSLED (or BOBSLEIGH).
Jed says:
It’s hard to pick a winner among these four, but I’m going with Marley & Hope, because Cool Runnings.
kzcondor notes:
B(o)B8 makes an appearance after all.
From last week’s meta, where solvers wondered if the “Star Wars” Universe character in question might be B-B8.
Johnstonteacher says:
Nice corners!
Thanks!
And Gwinns quips:
If I got this wrong I’ll feel like a real luger.
This week’s winner, whose name was chosen randomly from the 471 correct entries received, is Michael Rigney of Chicago, Ill. In addition to a MGWCC pen, pencil and notepad set, Michael will also receive a 1-year subscription to MGDX.
EXTENDED DEADLINE:
Because so many MGWCC solvers are participating in the MIT Mystery Hunt this weekend, this week’s contest deadline will be noon ET on Wednesday, January 20th.
THIS WEEK’S INSTRUCTIONS:
This week’s contest answer is a certain group of people found on the water, preceded by a two-letter exclamation you’ll say once you get the meta.
Solve well, and be not led astray by words intended to deceive.
