          • oldjudge 7s · 2023-04-10T13:34:07.604Z
            That was the best meta description ever--thanks for the laughs!

              Test solved and got tripped up in the very same way I get tripped up by that when its a clue! :) (Although I now do now a lot about flora on different continents - lol.) Fun -- Thanks!
              • Darth 🤓13:16 · 2023-04-10T14:23:38.245Z
                Cute. Congrats on your debut "Clark Tripe"... I was thinking "Three Musketeers" and something fishy. haha
                • Clark E Tripe 🤓4:55 · 2023-04-10T17:48:04.034Z
                  Thank you, Mr. Vader. But please remember to use my middle initial - E - which stands for "Ersatz".
                • Clark E Tripe 🤓4:55 · 2023-04-10T14:24:02.880Z
                  Oh goodie, I'm seeing solvers! I guess everything is working. Thank you, Peter, for letting me use your Crosshare account.
                  • I K Snamhcok 1s · 2023-04-10T14:01:42.649Z
                    Monday’s test solvers are Peter, Al, and the Cap’n? I thought they were Larry, Moe, and Curley. Heheheheh. Just teasing, fellows. Fun puzzle!
                    • dplass 6:34 · 2023-04-10T14:14:46.564Z
                      HA I read 38D backwards so I was reading it bottom to top and wondered why 38D said "read it bottom to top" when it "should" have been "top to bottom"...

                        Dr. Tripe is gonna be a hard act to follow even for himself. This one was a real tour de France. I can't wait for the next one. Also, solvers coming here directly through Crosshare have to be rerouted through x-muggles so that they read the constructor's biographical statement.
                        • Tyrpmom 2s · 2023-04-10T15:33:53.458Z
                          Will the real Clark E. Tripe please take credit for this excellent anniversary puzzle? Just reading the intro had me worried about what craziness would be going on with this one.

                            A brilliant debut and a laugh-out-loud introduction to someone I hope to see here again and again. Thank you, Clark!
                            • markhr 🤓13:32 · 2023-04-10T15:57:21.341Z
                              Well done, Mr. Tripe (aka Psycho, I believe). Great intro and excellent puzzle.
                              • Clark E Tripe 🤓4:55 · 2023-04-10T18:05:48.423Z
                                "Psycho?" Oh, you must have me confused with my uncle who lives in Jamaica - "Red S. Tripe".

                                Are us iOS programmers allowed in Linux Habitation?
                                • Clark E Tripe 🤓4:55 · 2023-04-10T17:38:42.014Z
                                  Oh my, no. But I hear they could use more Fortran and Cobol programmers.
                                  • BarbaraK 3s · 2023-04-12T14:38:59.956Z
                                    Is that the real classic COBOL, where a singe period closes all open conditionals? Or that wimpy newfangled COBOL with end-if and such?

                                        Pete, Alex, and Rich did help out a little, but this "Tour de France" (as Mr. Bird called it) was mostly my handiwork.

                                          True. We only needed to fix two things - 1) Grid entries and 2) Clues.

                                              This is what happens when three miscreants are allowed to sit together. Let's hope the teacher doesn't have to separate them! Great fun, thanks!

                                                          Silly me I tried MUGGLES first. Fun puzzle with SEVERAL deep rabbit holes (I'll bet you knew how many of the rivers intersected other words with ES or EST [a la Estuary] in them, or could be a sea [RED] or be changed to a sea [ARAL] or were crossed by an answer with a C [EBRO, URAL] or a SEA [neStEA]. FINALLY I saw the YEAR FOUR and knew that is when the Muggles (a 7 letter word) had started. Loved the intro (in particular the submissions paragraph), but I doubt you are a newbie and I will look forward to the reveal (which I assume will be that it is Peter, Rick and Al)

                                                            I tried Muggles first as well, as it was in the message and I was having a hard time with YEAR FOUR.
                                                          • ReB 3s · 2023-04-12T00:35:35.435Z
                                                            I was stuck on YEAR FOUR, but then someone in the Tuesday Zoom said that maybe Clark would be back for the fifth anniversary - and that's when lightning stuck.

                                                              Note: Use all 8 clues when looking for a 7 letter answer (heckin YEAROUR). Nice to meet you, thank you for the great fun and hope to see you around more, Clark E. Tripe!

                                                                My first thought for Year Four was "seniors" but that seemed too easy.
                                                                Also looked down the center column and the letters that are not in river rows can spell "solvers", but that seemed too inelegant as it's not quite in order.
                                                                When I googled and saw the answer, I got a huge grin. Perfect
