@Jafe correct, I did another oopsie, I'll probably take a break from setting C4s until I can sort my clue backlog out
Speaking of taking a break, I'm also gonna take a break from making this puzzle... I've lost interest for a few reasons so I'm just gonna save it for next Advent Calendar if I'm still active by then
CCCC: Music video in which Michael Jackson and several others dance and spank the monkey (4,2)

CCCC: Not a meek, introverted biker appears in this music video (4,2,2)
10:18 AM

@Jafe yeah :)
CCCC: No time in prison for tennis's #1 (7)
@Jafe ALCARAZ (Carlos Alcaraz, currently ranked #1 tennis player in the world by the Association of Tennis Professionals) = No T (time) in Alcatraz (former US prison)
11:31 AM
@oAlt that's right
12:22 PM

Q: Right turn only puzzle

RogerAHere is a grid with 24 spaces filled with letters. Pick any place to start your travel in the grid taking right turns only. You must get to all remaining 23 spaces but only once.
