The third contest puzzle of 2014 is now published – you can find it hereThe meta for this puzzle is a band formed in the ’90s. Enter your solution to the meta below before 11pm ET Sunday, March 9. There is also room to rate the puzzle and/or leave a comment.

I had to add the “formed in the ’90s” qualifier to eliminate a possible alternative (though less good) meta answer. If you figure out that answer, send it as a comment in the box below.

As a reminder, the 2014 contest once again features a mega-meta, hidden in the 12 monthly puzzles. You can enter your solution to the mega-meta in the box at the right. Solvers who send in the correct answer to the mega-meta before the final puzzle get lots of bonus points, as explained in the Contest Rules. Because the reward is so large for getting the mega-meta before the final puzzle, there may be some tricks designed to throw you off the track. Consider yourself warned.

Thanks for playing!

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