Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a real problem, not a first world problem
There are some very funny first world problems memes out there: "I have three monitors connected to my computer, and I can't find my mouse cursor!" (see https://www.boredpanda.com/first-world-problems-twitter/ for some more). You will face your own first world problems in this meta puzzle. May you find your way to the meta answer, which in this case is a real problem, not a first world problem. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=130896#p130896
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
