P&A Issue 27 Log
This one was my first attempt at logging; been sitting on it until the answers were published.
(7:42:54 AM): Hrmph. Overslept a bit. Still getting used to the West Coast.
(7:43:07 AM): About to log in and download...
(7:44:54 AM): Uh-oh. I'm doing this printerless. Let's see how that works out.
(7:47:37 AM): Starting You've Got Mail. Obvious AFI Top 100 thing in flavortext.
(7:48:22 AM): I think the words are all even-lengths?
(7:48:46 AM): Going to try pattern-matching against the romantic comedies list.
(7:48:56 AM): Or... just romances list.
(7:51:32 AM): Hm. Singin' in the Rain almost fits, but Singin' has two extra characters and Rain has one.
(7:52:57 AM): Unless it's not necessarily exactly two characters per letter?
(7:53:06 AM): All the INs can be SSAS...
(7:53:48 AM): Oh! Okay, it's Morse code.
(7:57:15 AM): Heh. Sleepless in Seattle. [Yep, thaaat's me!]
(8:05:31 AM): Probably going to order by rank on the list, and read down the dot letters, then the dashes.
(8:13:04 AM): Aw, no Moonstruck. That'd be fun, starting with nine of the same character...
(8:15:12 AM): HISSES has all the all-dot letters. Thank you for getting that stuck in my brain in the Puzzle Boat, Foggy.
(8:15:29 AM): Really ought to memorize the whole alphabet at some point.
(8:15:40 AM): (Haven't yet opened a Morse code table.)
(8:21:20 AM): Maybe starts with MESSAGES?
(8:23:21 AM): Heh. Just caught myself wondering what the Morse code for V was. Da-da-da-dummm...
(8:27:06 AM): Damn, nearly out of multi-word ones.
(8:32:26 AM): D'oh, mixed up Last Tango and An American.
(8:34:45 AM): Okay, answer TELEGRAPHS. Good puzzle, if a bit grindy. Plugged in the last four pairs of letters without finding the films.
(8:35:54 AM): Okay, going to try The Seventh Sign next.
(8:47:14 AM): There was a Gilligan's Island cartoon?
(8:47:49 AM): There was a monkey. Of course there was a monkey.
(8:47:53 AM): Okay, back on track.
(8:54:57 AM): All answers gathered. Working on the grid now...
(8:59:29 AM): Answer ARCHANGELS.
(8:59:55 AM): All ten-letter answers this time out, maybe?
(9:00:54 AM): South Pacific looks easy - find the kangaroo-ish words.
(9:07:36 AM): FROM AN ASIAN NATION
(9:10:32 AM): This shouldn't be as hard as it is. Resorting to Wikipedia's list of demonyms...
(9:14:54 AM): ...Still nothing. Hm.
(9:18:27 AM): INDonesIAN! Finally.
(9:22:51 AM): Staring in a blind panic at the meta. How is this going to work?
(9:24:37 AM): I've got South Pacific and You've Got Mail, which are adjacent...
(9:25:48 AM): Okay, I think maybe I see it.
(9:26:41 AM): I transfer letter pairs over, and for every string of B-Y-Y-B, I put a letter in the Bs to make a six-letter word?
(9:26:56 AM): So ?AITH? from what I have would probably be FAITHS.
(9:27:20 AM): This should actually be really backsolveable.
(9:28:02 AM): Breaking for a bit for food.
(9:30:03 AM): Back.
(9:30:30 AM): So this shape can be reduced to a dodecahedron, with blues as vertices and yellows as edges...
(9:31:13 AM): Which means I can futz with a dodecahedron map in Paint pretty easily.
(9:31:19 AM): Tracking one down now...
(9:31:37 AM): Er, net, not map.
(9:32:34 AM): And I can add in all the titles, though that may take a bit of time.
(9:55:46 AM): Okay, done. And letters transferred over.
(9:57:13 AM): The End will join up with two answers I already have. Going to try that now.
(10:01:08 AM): Prediction just from the first four letters UNCA: It's a list of the ends of things. (Mohicans, in this case.)
(10:03:23 AM): ...alternating with numbers, presumably to index. Okay.
(10:12:06 AM): Probably specifically movie LASTs. I see Mohicans and King of Scotland...
(10:16:46 AM): ARNIE AS SLATER, probably? Guessing it's ACTION HERO, but going to keep going. I like this puzzle.
(10:18:33 AM): Yep, that's it! Very nice.
(10:22:34 AM): Pi next; that borders three of what I already have.
(10:24:20 AM): PIPPI LONGSTOCKING looks easy to place...
(10:24:35 AM): (That is some weird flavortext. I wonder what the last step's going to be?)
(10:26:46 AM): And that gives me TROPICAL PINES.
(10:29:40 AM): And PIPING HOT PIES has a unique placement, too...
(11:03:20 AM): Grid filled. Now what?
(11:04:31 AM): Oh! Duh. PIRATE RIDE.
(11:12:34 AM): Going to try The Rock next.
(11:13:02 AM): Mohs scale?
(11:16:35 AM): Yeah, looks like the 10 Mohs minerals are hidden Boggle-style, but some aren't uniquely determined.
(11:25:23 AM): Okay, "stacking" them makes me want to read down columns, and it sort of works... ["Sort of", because I somehow convinced myself to stack them in the reverse order, and didn't try the other way until I came back and looked at weeks later. D'oh.]
(11:32:07 AM): Hm. Maybe I disregard all cells with letters from the appropriate mineral, whether they're on the path or not?
(11:35:18 AM): That's not looking interesting.
(11:35:27 AM): I think I'll set this one aside for now.
(11:35:57 AM): Phonebooth?
(11:37:35 AM): Words across, numbers down. I need to find the mapping between the two, which will presumably spell out the answer?
(11:40:38 AM): Hm. More than ten different letters.
(11:45:35 AM): All words found, and now I have "Vodafone" to the tune of "Kodachrome" in my head.
(11:46:10 AM): Hm. Well, 16D is clearly going to start with an 8...
(11:47:26 AM): I think I'm making a new phone keypad, with multiple letters going on the same key.
(11:51:26 AM): Hm. Something's not right. Not sure what I've assumed wrong.
(11:58:27 AM): Okay, the two two-digit cubes are unambiguous. I'll start there...
(12:02:26 PM): Hm. 22D's provable as 374 from 25D, but the letters are EEH...
(12:20:20 PM): Hah, all numbers eventually gettable without crossings, ignoring letters completely!
(12:20:33 PM): Now seeing what letters go with each number...
(12:22:13 PM): Oh! Mostly it is standard phonespell, but a few are wrong...
(12:26:22 PM): I count nine wrong ones. [I count wrong.]
(12:31:28 PM): I want to have ten, since that's the number of blanks, but I can't find a tenth.
(12:35:03 PM): Stepping away from this one, too.
(12:35:24 PM): Happiness?
(12:37:21 PM): Don't see an in right away. I think I'm going to cheat and do a wordlist search for one of the longer ones, see if that helps.
(12:40:02 PM): GENERATIONS for the longest word.
(12:41:47 PM): Which was a Star Trek sequel. Going to see if I can find any other odd sequel suffixes...
(12:42:16 PM): I see "THE QUEST FOR PEACE"...
(12:57:03 PM): Had a bit of a snarl with BLOODLUST instead of BLOODLINE, but straightened out the grid now. Time to Google...
(1:02:48 PM): Indexing sequel number into franchise name gives EEULLIENCE, which I'm guessing means I've got Herbie's number wrong. Checking...
(1:04:02 PM): Hm. One's a made for TV movie, but I'd still call it Herbie 5. Whatever, though. Answer fits the title.
(1:11:06 PM): Working Girl next, I think...
(1:14:17 PM): Roles all played by the same actress?
(1:14:29 PM): Royal Elf can't be anyone but Cate Blanchett, I think...
(1:16:27 PM): I think number of roles given matches length of last name, based on Blanchett and Adams...
(1:33:25 PM): Hm. Maybe exactly one's a real person, and I pull that letter? Trying now...
(1:37:57 PM): No, Cate played Elizabeth I and Katherine Hepburn. Hm.
(1:41:00 PM): And Amy Adams played two real people too. Maybe they all did?
(1:46:21 PM): No, Julia Roberts only played one. Huh.
(1:47:59 PM): Switching again. What else have we got?
(1:48:35 PM): Charlotte's Web.
(1:48:49 PM): Flavor screams top-level domains.
(1:50:27 PM): Oh, wait. I see ASK JEEVES...
(1:52:34 PM): Jumping to the bottom, there's ALTAVISTA...
(1:58:19 PM): There's a JUGHEAD search engine?
(1:58:30 PM): Also, I had completely forgotten LYCOS existed.
(2:05:23 PM): Ah, rings spell countries in the leftover letters. SANTO DOMINGO...
(2:07:18 PM): Not countries, cities. NEW DELHI in the third row...
(2:07:31 PM): RABAT in the second...
(2:08:15 PM): HOEKWIND...
(2:09:50 PM): Can't get the fifth. And fourth may be WINDHOEK. Looking up countries and codes now...
(2:11:13 PM): Oh, duh! They're capitals.
(2:11:21 PM): Looks pretty heavily like DOMAIN NAME...
(2:12:49 PM): Yep. Done with this one. Really, really well-themed!
(2:16:37 PM): Cabin Boy. Let's do this.
(2:22:00 PM): So if I'm guessing right, here, some rows and columns will poke outside of the grid...
(2:22:16 PM): ...which is going to make this a bitch to get started. But trying anyway.
(2:36:41 PM): Is "LAURELED" a word? Going to assume it is for now.
(2:41:35 PM): Got a nice -RDO- sticking out of the right side now.
(2:54:38 PM): RADIOS on alternating sides on the bottom...
(2:56:13 PM): Gonna be BOAT RADIOS, I think.
(3:00:15 PM): Yep. Done.
(3:09:04 PM): All that's left is The Breakup. Going to try it now.
(3:10:49 PM): Okay, not as scary as it looked, I think.
(3:12:27 PM): Heh, nice touch with the 1s and 49s.
(3:20:58 PM): ...amusement ark? Are some of these going to be missing letters?
(3:33:34 PM): Ahhh, here we go. A letter's been passed from one half to the other. Amusement ark prides.
(3:47:05 PM): This is a lute-heavy issue.
(3:51:30 PM): Grain ear = Rain gear...
(3:53:51 PM): Rude cheaters = Crude heaters...
(3:55:43 PM): Cred cheap = Creed chap = STAPP? Nah...
(4:00:13 PM): Ejected demotion = Dejected emotion...
(4:03:39 PM): Palin over = Pain lover...
(4:11:28 PM): Sorting the five I've got so far by sum, PDLCG. PADLOCKING?
(4:11:52 PM): Only removable K I can find is in "Masks, e.g.", but I don't see where it can go.
(4:13:21 PM): Kodak genius = Kodiak genus?
(4:14:02 PM): Yep, slot for URSUS.
(4:15:21 PM): Not sorted by sum, sorted by His order.
(4:15:39 PM): Throes or loons, e.g. = Thrones or loos, e.g.
(4:18:58 PM): Heh, spent forever thinking ANDRE would be clued by "The Giant of Hollywood", not "The Giant of Wrestling".
(4:23:56 PM): I have learned a new word today, and that word is MUGWUMP.
(4:25:27 PM): Saluted or cred = Salted or cured? That's a U, so PADLOCKING isn't it.
(4:27:39 PM): Oh, gotta be DECOUPLING.
(4:27:53 PM): Still going to stick with this grid, though. Having a good time.
(4:29:15 PM): What's the ordering? Not His, Hers, sum, or grid...
(4:29:32 PM): Maybe the numbers of the clues that give up the letter, or the ones that take it?
(4:33:12 PM): Not those. Not alpha by answer.
(4:37:29 PM): Aster heats = Easter hats...
(4:39:41 PM): Doc her = DC hero...
(4:42:44 PM): Ah, got it. It's givers overall, first His, then Hers.
(4:51:34 PM): Okay, done with the grid. Now to plug it in the meta. Maybe try to crack it.
(5:11:00 PM): Doing well. May be able to get enough letters to backsolve Working Girl...
(5:14:25 PM): Possibly BLUE COLLAR?
(5:14:37 PM): Makes FLENSE and MORGUE...
(5:16:11 PM): Hah! Think I've got it: SOME FLAT PERFORMANCES.
(5:16:22 PM): Going to fill in all of Working Girl to check.
(5:27:14 PM): Yep.
(5:27:19 PM): Submitting now...
(5:33:45 PM): Now to backsolve these other two.
(5:39:44 PM): Maybe AIKIDO and MILLET for two edges of The Rock? OneLooking now...
(5:46:39 PM): METEORLIKE fits, but OMERTA and MERINO are sort of ugly words...
(5:55:15 PM): That does give a nice TATTOO, CASINO, and CRECHE for Phonebooth...
(5:57:56 PM): Wait. No way... *pulls up Phonebooth grid*
(5:59:20 PM): Bahaha! It is! I somehow marked one right number as wrong, the rest transfer down, the 0 and 1 are an O and an I, for OIL TANKERS.
(7:42:54 AM): Hrmph. Overslept a bit. Still getting used to the West Coast.
(7:43:07 AM): About to log in and download...
(7:44:54 AM): Uh-oh. I'm doing this printerless. Let's see how that works out.
(7:47:37 AM): Starting You've Got Mail. Obvious AFI Top 100 thing in flavortext.
(7:48:22 AM): I think the words are all even-lengths?
(7:48:46 AM): Going to try pattern-matching against the romantic comedies list.
(7:48:56 AM): Or... just romances list.
(7:51:32 AM): Hm. Singin' in the Rain almost fits, but Singin' has two extra characters and Rain has one.
(7:52:57 AM): Unless it's not necessarily exactly two characters per letter?
(7:53:06 AM): All the INs can be SSAS...
(7:53:48 AM): Oh! Okay, it's Morse code.
(7:57:15 AM): Heh. Sleepless in Seattle. [Yep, thaaat's me!]
(8:05:31 AM): Probably going to order by rank on the list, and read down the dot letters, then the dashes.
(8:13:04 AM): Aw, no Moonstruck. That'd be fun, starting with nine of the same character...
(8:15:12 AM): HISSES has all the all-dot letters. Thank you for getting that stuck in my brain in the Puzzle Boat, Foggy.
(8:15:29 AM): Really ought to memorize the whole alphabet at some point.
(8:15:40 AM): (Haven't yet opened a Morse code table.)
(8:21:20 AM): Maybe starts with MESSAGES?
(8:23:21 AM): Heh. Just caught myself wondering what the Morse code for V was. Da-da-da-dummm...
(8:27:06 AM): Damn, nearly out of multi-word ones.
(8:32:26 AM): D'oh, mixed up Last Tango and An American.
(8:34:45 AM): Okay, answer TELEGRAPHS. Good puzzle, if a bit grindy. Plugged in the last four pairs of letters without finding the films.
(8:35:54 AM): Okay, going to try The Seventh Sign next.
(8:47:14 AM): There was a Gilligan's Island cartoon?
(8:47:49 AM): There was a monkey. Of course there was a monkey.
(8:47:53 AM): Okay, back on track.
(8:54:57 AM): All answers gathered. Working on the grid now...
(8:59:29 AM): Answer ARCHANGELS.
(8:59:55 AM): All ten-letter answers this time out, maybe?
(9:00:54 AM): South Pacific looks easy - find the kangaroo-ish words.
(9:07:36 AM): FROM AN ASIAN NATION
(9:10:32 AM): This shouldn't be as hard as it is. Resorting to Wikipedia's list of demonyms...
(9:14:54 AM): ...Still nothing. Hm.
(9:18:27 AM): INDonesIAN! Finally.
(9:22:51 AM): Staring in a blind panic at the meta. How is this going to work?
(9:24:37 AM): I've got South Pacific and You've Got Mail, which are adjacent...
(9:25:48 AM): Okay, I think maybe I see it.
(9:26:41 AM): I transfer letter pairs over, and for every string of B-Y-Y-B, I put a letter in the Bs to make a six-letter word?
(9:26:56 AM): So ?AITH? from what I have would probably be FAITHS.
(9:27:20 AM): This should actually be really backsolveable.
(9:28:02 AM): Breaking for a bit for food.
(9:30:03 AM): Back.
(9:30:30 AM): So this shape can be reduced to a dodecahedron, with blues as vertices and yellows as edges...

(9:55:46 AM): Okay, done. And letters transferred over.
(9:57:13 AM): The End will join up with two answers I already have. Going to try that now.
(10:01:08 AM): Prediction just from the first four letters UNCA: It's a list of the ends of things. (Mohicans, in this case.)
(10:03:23 AM): ...alternating with numbers, presumably to index. Okay.
(10:12:06 AM): Probably specifically movie LASTs. I see Mohicans and King of Scotland...
(10:16:46 AM): ARNIE AS SLATER, probably? Guessing it's ACTION HERO, but going to keep going. I like this puzzle.
(10:18:33 AM): Yep, that's it! Very nice.
(10:22:34 AM): Pi next; that borders three of what I already have.
(10:24:20 AM): PIPPI LONGSTOCKING looks easy to place...
(10:24:35 AM): (That is some weird flavortext. I wonder what the last step's going to be?)
(10:26:46 AM): And that gives me TROPICAL PINES.
(10:29:40 AM): And PIPING HOT PIES has a unique placement, too...
(11:03:20 AM): Grid filled. Now what?
(11:04:31 AM): Oh! Duh. PIRATE RIDE.
(11:12:34 AM): Going to try The Rock next.
(11:13:02 AM): Mohs scale?
(11:16:35 AM): Yeah, looks like the 10 Mohs minerals are hidden Boggle-style, but some aren't uniquely determined.
(11:25:23 AM): Okay, "stacking" them makes me want to read down columns, and it sort of works... ["Sort of", because I somehow convinced myself to stack them in the reverse order, and didn't try the other way until I came back and looked at weeks later. D'oh.]

(11:51:26 AM): Hm. Something's not right. Not sure what I've assumed wrong.
(11:58:27 AM): Okay, the two two-digit cubes are unambiguous. I'll start there...
(12:02:26 PM): Hm. 22D's provable as 374 from 25D, but the letters are EEH...
(12:20:20 PM): Hah, all numbers eventually gettable without crossings, ignoring letters completely!
(12:20:33 PM): Now seeing what letters go with each number...
(12:22:13 PM): Oh! Mostly it is standard phonespell, but a few are wrong...
(12:26:22 PM): I count nine wrong ones. [I count wrong.]
(12:31:28 PM): I want to have ten, since that's the number of blanks, but I can't find a tenth.
(12:35:03 PM): Stepping away from this one, too.
(12:35:24 PM): Happiness?
(12:37:21 PM): Don't see an in right away. I think I'm going to cheat and do a wordlist search for one of the longer ones, see if that helps.
(12:40:02 PM): GENERATIONS for the longest word.
(12:41:47 PM): Which was a Star Trek sequel. Going to see if I can find any other odd sequel suffixes...
(12:42:16 PM): I see "THE QUEST FOR PEACE"...
(12:57:03 PM): Had a bit of a snarl with BLOODLUST instead of BLOODLINE, but straightened out the grid now. Time to Google...
(1:02:48 PM): Indexing sequel number into franchise name gives EEULLIENCE, which I'm guessing means I've got Herbie's number wrong. Checking...
(1:04:02 PM): Hm. One's a made for TV movie, but I'd still call it Herbie 5. Whatever, though. Answer fits the title.
(1:11:06 PM): Working Girl next, I think...

(1:47:59 PM): Switching again. What else have we got?
(1:48:35 PM): Charlotte's Web.
(1:48:49 PM): Flavor screams top-level domains.
(1:50:27 PM): Oh, wait. I see ASK JEEVES...
(1:52:34 PM): Jumping to the bottom, there's ALTAVISTA...
(1:58:19 PM): There's a JUGHEAD search engine?
(1:58:30 PM): Also, I had completely forgotten LYCOS existed.
(2:05:23 PM): Ah, rings spell countries in the leftover letters. SANTO DOMINGO...
(2:07:18 PM): Not countries, cities. NEW DELHI in the third row...
(2:07:31 PM): RABAT in the second...
(2:08:15 PM): HOEKWIND...
(2:09:50 PM): Can't get the fifth. And fourth may be WINDHOEK. Looking up countries and codes now...
(2:11:13 PM): Oh, duh! They're capitals.
(2:11:21 PM): Looks pretty heavily like DOMAIN NAME...
(2:12:49 PM): Yep. Done with this one. Really, really well-themed!
(2:16:37 PM): Cabin Boy. Let's do this.
(2:22:00 PM): So if I'm guessing right, here, some rows and columns will poke outside of the grid...
(2:22:16 PM): ...which is going to make this a bitch to get started. But trying anyway.
(2:36:41 PM): Is "LAURELED" a word? Going to assume it is for now.
(2:41:35 PM): Got a nice -RDO- sticking out of the right side now.
(2:54:38 PM): RADIOS on alternating sides on the bottom...
(2:56:13 PM): Gonna be BOAT RADIOS, I think.
(3:00:15 PM): Yep. Done.
(3:09:04 PM): All that's left is The Breakup. Going to try it now.
(3:10:49 PM): Okay, not as scary as it looked, I think.
(3:12:27 PM): Heh, nice touch with the 1s and 49s.
(3:20:58 PM): ...amusement ark? Are some of these going to be missing letters?
(3:33:34 PM): Ahhh, here we go. A letter's been passed from one half to the other. Amusement ark prides.
(3:47:05 PM): This is a lute-heavy issue.
(3:51:30 PM): Grain ear = Rain gear...
(3:53:51 PM): Rude cheaters = Crude heaters...
(3:55:43 PM): Cred cheap = Creed chap = STAPP? Nah...
(4:00:13 PM): Ejected demotion = Dejected emotion...
(4:03:39 PM): Palin over = Pain lover...
(4:11:28 PM): Sorting the five I've got so far by sum, PDLCG. PADLOCKING?
(4:11:52 PM): Only removable K I can find is in "Masks, e.g.", but I don't see where it can go.
(4:13:21 PM): Kodak genius = Kodiak genus?
(4:14:02 PM): Yep, slot for URSUS.
(4:15:21 PM): Not sorted by sum, sorted by His order.
(4:15:39 PM): Throes or loons, e.g. = Thrones or loos, e.g.
(4:18:58 PM): Heh, spent forever thinking ANDRE would be clued by "The Giant of Hollywood", not "The Giant of Wrestling".
(4:23:56 PM): I have learned a new word today, and that word is MUGWUMP.
(4:25:27 PM): Saluted or cred = Salted or cured? That's a U, so PADLOCKING isn't it.
(4:27:39 PM): Oh, gotta be DECOUPLING.
(4:27:53 PM): Still going to stick with this grid, though. Having a good time.
(4:29:15 PM): What's the ordering? Not His, Hers, sum, or grid...
(4:29:32 PM): Maybe the numbers of the clues that give up the letter, or the ones that take it?
(4:33:12 PM): Not those. Not alpha by answer.
(4:37:29 PM): Aster heats = Easter hats...
(4:39:41 PM): Doc her = DC hero...
(4:42:44 PM): Ah, got it. It's givers overall, first His, then Hers.
(4:51:34 PM): Okay, done with the grid. Now to plug it in the meta. Maybe try to crack it.
(5:11:00 PM): Doing well. May be able to get enough letters to backsolve Working Girl...
(5:14:25 PM): Possibly BLUE COLLAR?
(5:14:37 PM): Makes FLENSE and MORGUE...
(5:16:11 PM): Hah! Think I've got it: SOME FLAT PERFORMANCES.
(5:16:22 PM): Going to fill in all of Working Girl to check.
(5:27:14 PM): Yep.
(5:27:19 PM): Submitting now...
(5:33:45 PM): Now to backsolve these other two.
(5:39:44 PM): Maybe AIKIDO and MILLET for two edges of The Rock? OneLooking now...
(5:46:39 PM): METEORLIKE fits, but OMERTA and MERINO are sort of ugly words...
(5:55:15 PM): That does give a nice TATTOO, CASINO, and CRECHE for Phonebooth...
(5:57:56 PM): Wait. No way... *pulls up Phonebooth grid*
(5:59:20 PM): Bahaha! It is! I somehow marked one right number as wrong, the rest transfer down, the 0 and 1 are an O and an I, for OIL TANKERS.
