Matt. 20:16 (Meta)

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a noun
I actually find it much harder coming up with "easy" metas. You don't want to make it too obvious, but it really should be accessible to most people. Well, let's see how this one goes. The answer to the meta is a noun. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=123212#p123212
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!

    Just my speed !! It was fun trying to figure out your "theme" clues. Good grid.
    • benchen71 constructor · 2023-03-07T08:39:40.774Z
      That was quite possibly the hardest part of this meta!
    • markhr 🤓21:33 · 2023-03-07T09:25:15.931Z
      Hair — Herr. I get it. Clever puzzle.
      • benchen71 constructor · 2023-03-07T10:06:10.485Z
        I figured it needed an easter egg!
        • woozy 14:32 · 2023-03-08T06:28:42.064Z
          Well, as Mick Lasalle in reviewing Star Trek V said, the actors are wearing bad looking toupees, they should just forego them and Baldly Go where no Star Trek actor has gone before.
      • HeadinHome 🤓4:24 · 2023-03-07T12:24:10.675Z
        That first themer had me wondering … one of those you have to simply leave and assume all will be made clear eventually! (See, I can split an infinitive too…). ( :
        • Cindy Heisler 2s · 2023-03-07T12:18:27.222Z
          Grid was a bit challenging, but fun meta! Thanks!
          • I K Snamhcok 1s · 2023-03-07T13:46:57.993Z
            Ditto. Loved the themers, especially.
            • Ergcat 19:30 · 2023-03-07T13:41:20.286Z
              Fun one Ben! Very clever with those long themers!
              • imontoo 3s · 2023-03-07T14:12:47.515Z
                Fun one. Thanks!
                • Tom Wilson 7:44 · 2023-03-07T14:16:06.011Z
                  Very clever ... you make it look easy, but I truly appreciate the work that goes into our amusement. Well done!
                  • MatthewL 🤓14:53 · 2023-03-07T15:33:49.529Z
                    Tough grid, but clear path to the meta. Even had time to sit and take a nap and still finish first ..... wait a minute.

                      While solving the meta, I worked my way down the themers, at first confusedly, and then about halfway through, smilingly. OK if I call it cute? :) Thanks, Ben!

                          I think hare is also a valid answer.
                          • benchen71 constructor · 2023-03-07T20:51:35.473Z
                            In this particular race there are no prizes for coming second. You know what they say: "You snooze, you lose!"
                          • Bbaack 23:01 · 2023-03-07T21:43:14.056Z
                            Aah, a meta mechanism based on a Bible verse. Very clever; thanks for the fun!
                            • Bird Lives 4s · 2023-03-07T21:58:36.543Z
                              Were you tempted to make the prompt and answer "A verse in the Bible"? Proud to say I still would have gotten it. Of course, there's Ecclesiastes 9:11 as well.
                              • benchen71 constructor · 2023-03-08T03:00:02.208Z
                                That might have been tricky since "The first shall be last and the last first" comes up in a few different places. But I definitely wanted to use that phrase as a meta mechanic and the easiest way to hint at it was to simply use a Bible ref. as the puzzle title.
                                • Sharkicicles 3s · 2023-03-09T20:45:21.882Z
                                  I had to look up the verse but once I did I thought it was a very clever way to title this one.

                                  I was a little "slow" on the uptake for this one, but I eventually got it. Thanks, Ben!

                                        So Row Your Boat is a Rondeau, and The Borg is a reference to Star Trek, and Groom is a reference to the wedding dress designer Oleg Cassini, but I got nothing for Swing State. Does the bizarre use of Star Wars X/E wing in the clue instead of the more obvious reference to the family in Dallas a hint?
                                        Too bad I can't simply spell out the swapped letters, but that'd spell out TROS|OTIE and that's not a word.... What can it be?......
                                        • benchen71 constructor · 2023-03-08T08:23:07.959Z
                                          No, those intra-grid references have nothing to do with it. You just need to apply Matt. 20:16.
                                          • benchen71 constructor · 2023-03-08T09:07:20.125Z
                                            Of course, if you are writing comments here you must have solved it! I may have missed what you were driving at. :D
                                            • woozy 14:32 · 2023-03-08T16:26:04.593Z
                                              It was fun and relatively easy to get that that the theme was to switch the first and last letters. But it was hard as heck to figure out what to do next.
                                              The idea that simply taking the letters that are switched was obviously too simple. And if I did so they spell out either TROS or OTIE or TROSOTIE and that's not it so that wasn't worth pursuing.
                                              "Row your Boat" being a Rondeau seemed the most worth pursuing but it failed for the other three themers. BORG for TO BOLDLY GO seemed strong but badly done, and GROOM for OLEG CASSINI was a week stretch.
                                              Reading the letters, first last first last was... unnatural for me and took me a long time to consider it.

                                            Well I didn't get there too fast, but then slow and steady wins the race it is said. I completely missed the HERR/HARE reference. I knew what I had to do almost immediately since I knew the passage. Like Woozy I would have thought that "Data on JR's evil deeds" would have been a natural for EWING STATS, they must not have shown that down under (and if they did was the ranch NORTHFORK?). Too bad you could not have made it spell DENAIRUS!
