The Santa Barbara—based singer-songwriter, investment fund founder, and former Princeton math major had a unique side hustle that he wanted help with: constructing crossword puzzles. White began interning with Muller that spring, and together they invented a new kind of puzzle series for The Washington Post : the daily mini meta. The series consists of six 5x5 puzzles, with one puzzle published daily from Monday through Saturday. Since it launched in March , the daily mini meta has seen a percent increase in the number of daily solvers. In fact, it was so successful that Muller offered White a full-time position, which White accepted, deferring his junior year at Princeton. The Post has since picked up the series through To create the mini meta, Muller and White first have to generate a final solution. Muller and White cite their different skill sets as a reason their collaboration is so gratifying. White is big on language and puns; Muller is a music lover with a knack for math and business.

This incredibly fun mobility item lets you press the fire button to begin flying through the air. You'll start with charges that will count down rapidly as you're soaring around, but it's usually enough to take you pretty far across the map when you need to reposition or escape the incoming storm. However, it's worth noting that the relatively slow speed of taking off and flying doesn't make the Wings of Icarus the best mid-battle escape tool, so it's not usually wise to use it while you're being shot at. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is underway and has brought with it some significant changes to the battle royale map that should shake up things quite a lot. This season is all about ancient gods descending onto the map, which is quite obvious by its multiple mythical locations like Mount Olympus and the Underworld.
