Visiting Flatland (Meta)

· Di benchen71 · Pubblicato 2022-04-12T06:00:07.021Z

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a noun
From Wikipedia: "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is a satirical novella by the English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott Abbott, first published in 1884 by Seeley & Co. of London. Written pseudonymously by "A Square", the book used the fictional two-dimensional world of Flatland to comment on the hierarchy of Victorian culture, but the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions." The answer to the meta is a noun. Answer and explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=90157#p90157
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!

    Much googling required
    • dplass 7:39 · 2022-04-12T14:46:24.477Z
      Is the mechanism to follow the solids: tetrahedron's base looks like a square, which can be viewed as a cube, which could also be looked at as a cylinder, which can also be seen as a circle, which can also be viewed as a sphere?
      Or is it actually spelled out and I'm just a Really Good Guesser?
      • benchen71 costruttore · 2022-04-12T22:32:24.702Z
        It's spelled out. I readily admit that the entry and clue for SEAM is not very helpful. Perhaps LINE would have been better...
      • woozy 17:41 · 2022-04-12T21:10:50.399Z
        Oh .... for god's sake......
        • dot 🤓13:07 · 2022-04-13T00:38:46.956Z
          Had to look up 9D & 11D. Nice meta, though!
          • Tyrpmom 2s · 2022-04-13T21:07:10.831Z
            That was a lot of counting edges of shapes and getting nowhere. Finally discussed it with my husband that just blurts out random answers and is usually no help whatsoever. After blurting out some random answers he suggested folding my paper in half. Well, a look right down the middle and there it is. Thanks.
            • benchen71 costruttore · 2022-04-13T22:17:40.029Z
              You found Flatland! Nicely done.
              • dplass 7:39 · 2022-04-14T17:00:39.472Z
                AH! THAT TOTALLY MAKES SENSE NOW!!!! Like MAD magazine.
            • Dow Jones 3s · 2022-04-15T01:46:33.289Z
              After highlighting the 6 shapes in the grid, the "sphere"was evident. Good meta, Ben !
              • DIS 🤓6:56 · 2022-04-15T15:56:11.542Z
                This was great -- I love Flatland.
                • Bbaack 26:29 · 2022-04-15T16:26:25.814Z
                  Nice one. Naturally I made it too hard, but the first hint made all the difference. Thanks for a great puzzle and the fond memories I have of the book!
                  • Laura M 🤓10:41 · 2022-04-15T18:05:18.670Z
                    Nice one! But I needed the hints. Now I'm embarrassed at how much I struggled with it...
                    • whimsy 17:14 · 2022-04-15T20:24:09.309Z
                      Oh, yes! Way over complicated before reading first nudge; counting planes, counting edges, trying to envision what the shapes would have looked like "edge on." (Um -- lines!)
                      • Carolyn 4s · 2022-04-16T19:23:21.854Z
                        I made this way more difficult that need be, but reviewed some math in the process! Thanks for the puzzle.
