Three 7s so far for me and 508 total, but I think all those Es are giving me a headache. I still don't know why I plod along at these puzzles. I must be happy in my mediocrity.

1:44 pm

discodave

Not me - I constantly strive to reassert my mediocrity.
Found the 8 though, so things aren't too bad.
