Excellent puzzle! One nit to pick: I would argue "ABLATE" does not mean to remove surgically. Ablation is killing tissue without removing it, and often non-surgically! Radioablation uses focused radiation beams that converge with sub-millimeter precision to kill aberrant tissue, particularly in the heart to stop arrhythmias. Some people had EXCISE, and I had RESECT until the very end, both of which are more consistent with the clue.
just a fantastic puzzle. bravo!
I cringed at OCTOPI but after the challah line, all is forgiven. 😂😂 Fun one, especially for me as a former chronic rhinitis sufferer, and a Sunday record 14:02
maybe it was the two hits of blotter acid several hours earlier but I found this to be a challenging and lively Friday. brava to the creators!
Fantastic puzzle and I'm sorry to the constructor that so many commenters seem to project their own inadequacies or personal frustrations in the comment section.
Extraordinary work, Bryan!!! I hope we see many, many more puzzles from you for many, many years.
@Cathy Parrish i think many of us enjoy it for the very same reason. I think Shortz clearly loves that kind of thing. to each their own I say!
My 30 down was 3:33, 5s off my best
@andrew “To a T” means "perfectly or precisely"
really outstanding! so glad the creator kept trying!
@Ken glad I wasn't the only one who took it that way😂
