I started finally getting some of the answer...27:13<br />I started finally getting some of the answers down in the SE and the remainder slowly filled in. I'd never heard of HAUDENOSAUNEE either and needed each and every cross for it, and it still didn't look right so I checked the crosses over and over and over again. My last entry was the "T" in the EXT/INT cross. I'd tried Nyet at first where NEIN goes, which slowed me quite a bit over there. The GSIX entry really helped. I knew that _____DIET would end 3D, so ALDA was my first guess for 48A, which gave me UPLATE, then PAINMED, OPCIT, SOAPED, DET and SUITCASE, in that order. I needed all of that for ETESIAN. OVINE was entered only after I'd entered shorn and couldn't get any crosses. In fact, even though I generally don't like a proper company name, DUPONT was a gimme for me and caused me to erase shorn. Anyway, all of that for a decent time for me for a Saturday.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
