NYT 2:23 ... LAT 1:36 ... CS 1:43 ... ND 1:41 ... BT 3:35 ... TO 3:50

To my surprise, I solved all of Matt Gaffney's "Hell Month" metapuzzles! (Pending Joon's reveal today... but I'm pretty sure I got it.) Usually I fail to grok the hard metas, so either I'm getting better at Puzzle Hunt-style thinking, or the guaranteed prize was enough to keep me from giving up too soon this time.

you got it.

I'm still kicking myself a little bit for missing the SIX BARS puzzle. I was so close, and yet so far away.
Still loved the metas, though. Every so often one just sneaks past your solving radar, you know?

Same here on SIX BARS, Howard. I found all the red herrings in that one and invented a few of my own.

Congrats, Dan!
