    So today is MOAT Tuesday?
    • benchen71 constructor · 2023-03-14T07:37:58.719Z
      It is in Australia!
      • benchen71 constructor · 2023-03-14T08:55:14.340Z
        Oh, as soon as I pushed "Save" I saw what you were doing there! Nice one. :D
      • Laura M 🤓10:47 · 2023-03-14T07:57:25.663Z
        Loved it! Never knew there was a name for that!
        • Meg 3s · 2023-03-14T13:44:20.298Z
          Along the lines of The La Brea Tar Pits, which translates to The The Brea Tar Pits.
          • Jaclyn 8:09 · 2023-03-14T23:30:13.914Z
            Even better: The The Tar Tar Pits!
            • benchen71 constructor · 2023-03-15T01:23:25.128Z
              Yep, that's a good one!
          • MatthewL 9:34 · 2023-03-14T14:10:31.763Z
            Very clever, Ben! Liked this one a lot.
            • rjy 2s · 2023-03-14T14:17:41.441Z
              Loved the inclusion of THE THE as a somewhat oddball form of repetition
              • ReB 3s · 2023-03-15T01:34:15.586Z
                Unique cluing as well
              • Bird Lives 3s · 2023-03-14T14:23:12.179Z
                I could have been the first solver if I'd been up when it hit the board -- 1 a.m; in the morning. (Not quite a legit RAS, but close, and one I hear frequently, though only about the wee small hours.)
                • JHSeeman 4s · 2023-03-14T14:33:57.713Z
                  I'll need to crank up some good music as now I have EDM earwig going.....thanks Ben.
                  • Darth 🤓8:43 · 2023-03-14T15:45:20.875Z
                    MOAT Tuesday... Good one! :D
                    • Sharkicicles 2s · 2023-03-14T17:38:01.135Z
                      I thought this was a little easier than the standard Benchen; as always amazing construction and I really enjoyed the puzzle!
                      • Tyrpmom 4s · 2023-03-14T18:06:35.646Z
                        Nice one.
                        • KayW 🤓10:31 · 2023-03-14T20:24:09.506Z
                          haha. Got it on the second try. Forgot to make it redundant on the first entry. Nice one Ben - thanks!
                          • Ergcat 🤓14:43 · 2023-03-14T20:30:15.937Z
                            Took a moment to realize why my first “guess” of EDM wasn’t accepted! So I added the repetition! Good one, Ben! Thank you and Happy Pi Day! Is it Pi Day Down Under? Or not ? Aren’t Your dates expressed 14/03/2023 instead of our 3/14/2023 ?
                            • DrTom 3s · 2023-03-14T22:48:52.186Z
                              As Ben put us through our paces
                              To keep egg off of our faces
                              He tried not to encumber
                              With a bulky Pi number
                              And kept it down to two places (two places)
                              • benchen71 constructor · 2023-03-14T22:56:11.878Z
                                We did celebrate Pi day. Our students formed a large Pi on an oval, and there was a digits competition. Plus lots of party pies!
                                • ReB 3s · 2023-03-15T01:33:22.042Z
                                  I went through the same process
                                • DrTom 3s · 2023-03-14T21:11:28.832Z
                                  Fun one Ben, and having to deal with all the "do we have enough PPE equipment" during the pandemic this was an easy jaunt home. Now I assume you put in Eve's grandson to give us a hint, but to me Brian Eno is more EEM than EDM😁 I knew the world would soon be coming to an end when I heard Jim Morrison songs in an "ambient music" format....
                                  • benchen71 constructor · 2023-03-14T23:10:23.783Z
                                    PPE EQUIPMENT was definitely the seed for this meta!

                                    Thanks Ben!
                                    • dplass 8:50 · 2023-03-15T11:15:31.964Z
                                      Really nice.

                                        Took me three times to get it right. Good time!
                                        • whimsy 14:12 · 2023-03-17T03:53:19.436Z
                                          This dunderhead initially neglected redundancy. Thanks for the puzzle, Ben!
                                          • Carolyn 3s · 2023-03-18T00:16:05.456Z
                                            Phew! Finally got it.

                                              Busy week and just getting to metas. This was fun. I hadn't heard of EDM, so it took some Googling.
