I solved Redactle Unlimited #395 in 176 guesses with an accuracy of 82.95% and a time of 00:52:32.

had the first two in the 30s, but couldn’t think of the third word, so I just started filling in the blanks until it would come to me, since it clearly had to be something pretty obvious. and it did come to me - one minute after I had decided to call it a day. the brain, how does it work?

slugbuggy, life has new meaning to me (breastcrawl), Saturday, 6 May 2023 19:32 (one year ago) link

and it us funny, that brain. when I tried “hardware” it could feel it trying to tell me I was so close. it even pushed me to try “software” (as a filling-out option) at one point, and I had that overwhelming feeling again: so far away but yet so close

slugbuggy, life has new meaning to me (breastcrawl), Saturday, 6 May 2023 19:39 (one year ago) link

I ended up cheating yesterday even though I had the first two words because I thought I'd already guessed the third word.

Today was much better though.

I totally assumed this would be about a CoA *movie*, so I didn’t even bother to check for “movie/film” (or for “director” for that matter)

bit of a headscratcher this one when “insect” gave me only one hit somewhere down the article after I got “eggs” as early at 6, when “birds” had already proven a dead-end as well

well, well. when I saw that *it* was named after a university, for some reason I immediately thought of Italy and yes, Bologna (gorgeous city, btw). this was somewhere in the 50s, guess-wise. I tried everything humanly possible in the accord<>declaration range for the second word, but to no avail (altho these terms actually occur in the text), then gleaned at the Dutch article, which had the Dutch for ‘declaration’ as its title, sigh, and then gave up and cheated. feel like I was robbed of a glorious and impressive victory!

Went down the "species" rabbit hole, but then the human angle really stumped me until I started seeing hits for historical periods that belong to unambiguously modern humans.
