The final contest puzzle of 2016, the mega-meta is now published – you can find it here. The meta for this puzzle is a classic hit song. Enter your solution in the box below, where you can also rate the puzzle and/or leave a comment. The submission deadline is 11 pm Sunday, January 1.

If you’re one of the seven solvers who have already cracked the mega-meta, you don’t have to resubmit (unless you want to rate it or leave a comment). Congratulations to that group: Jangler, Veep, Brian Cross, Mike Berman, Brent Holman, Jasters, and eowynfate.

  • This puzzle is self-contained (unlike mega-meta puzzles from previous years), meaning you won’t have to refer back to the other 2016 MMMM puzzles to solve it.
  • If you’re one of the seven people who already got the mega-meta, bravo! You don’t need to resubmit unless you want to rate the puzzle or add a comment.
  • A total of 77 subscribers have qualified for the January Grand Prize Drawing by solving nine or more puzzles this year. Congratulations! There are 25 more of you with eight correct answers, and if you solve this puzzle you too will qualify. Good luck!

I’ve brought back the Tip Jar this year. Please click on the icon if you’d like to show appreciation for the MMMM. I’ll get all of the appreciation, but 100% of what you donate will be given to Math for America. I’m still deciding what form the MMMM will take next year. More news on that soon.

This contest is now closed. The solution will be published on Tuesday.
