Funny that LSD is center grid. And nice that the doubled letters are symmetrically placed. Very well done puzzle and no complaints, other than PAYA, from this quarter. 12:58Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-57962333843743619902021-06-04T22:39:19.677-04:002021-06-04T22:39:19.677-04:00Ha ha maybe, or also maybe, I'll wilt under th...Ha ha maybe, or also maybe, I'll wilt under the pressure of being there in person and there will STILL be a hundred numbers between our names! :)Philbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043217968097552604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-39183104245302857952021-06-04T20:11:01.181-04:002021-06-04T20:11:01.181-04:00I'll take all of these I can get, because I kn...I'll take all of these I can get, because I know when we're both in Stamford next spring, there will be at least a hundred numbers between our names. :)Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-27618131897520360192021-06-04T12:54:53.833-04:002021-06-04T12:54:53.833-04:00OK Horace - you can have this one :)OK Horace - you can have this one :)Philbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043217968097552604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-41929380328491049522021-06-04T07:36:47.227-04:002021-06-04T07:36:47.227-04:00Like you, Colum, I thought something was up at A[D...Like you, Colum, I thought something was up at A[DD]S, and N[AA]N confirmed it. I would have been at least a minute faster than my final 9:54, but after looking through the whole grid twice, I had to stop in at xwordinfo to find that I had misspelled AYCARuMBA. :( Frannie and I have watched a lot of Simpsons, and although he really only said that regularly for the first few seasons, I always heard it with a U sound. And yeah, "hoof meat" didn't correct it for me.

I usually work from top-left to bottom-right but this time, I think I was about two thirds of the way down the grid before the first answer even revealed itself to me. And it took forever for me to twig to the "trick"! A disappointing 10:17 for a Thursday puzzle but the overall experience was excellent!Philbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043217968097552604noreply@blogger.com
