Happy Friday! It seems yesterday's Tightrope hint helped some players – shoutout to the following solvers who quickly and correctly pointed out that the secret theme was the Battle of Actium, in which Octavian defeated the combined fleets of Mark Antony and Cleopatra: William Seaton in Los Angeles, CA; Frank in Parma, OH; and Melissa Dowdy in Austin, TX.And finally, we want to celebrate the only two solvers to get it without any hints at all:Bob Matson in East Lansing, MI and Jaime Jean in Mexico City, Mexico. Congrats!
