I found 11D inaccurate and culturally insensitive. I've noticed other weird and inaccurate cluing related to Asian culture and I wish that NYT would do a better job of reviewing these types of clues. Thanks. From Minnesota Public Radio: 4.) Are all Hmong people from Laos? Does that make them Lao as well? In a word, no. The Center for Hmong Studies' Xiong elaborates: "The word 'Lao' is traditionally used to describe the Lao people, who are the majority in Laos. The Hmong are an ethnic group within the country of Laos. In Laos, the Hmong are called Hmong, even by the majority Lao. So as not to confuse people, Hmong are Hmong and Lao are Lao. It's like apples and oranges. Both are from (Laos), but labeled differently." <a href="https://www.mprnews.org/story/2015/03/01/10-things-hmong" target="_blank">https://www.mprnews.org/story/2015/03/01/10-things-hmong</a>
Fun puzzle but colors didn't show on my phone for some reason. Weirdly the colors did show up on someone else's phone, same make and model. Had to solve on another device. Anyone have tips on settings to tweak on Android?
@RDB came here to say exactly this. Gracias!
Thanks for sharing Mike. On my Android phone, I was able to enter numbers but the multiplication sign didn't show up. Only after I looked on either device did I realize that math was involved. Before seeing the x between boxes, I had previously assumed that the answers somehow wrapped around the shaded squares.
