Here in Minnesota, our favorite was 55 Down: Give the cold shoulder, with “Out.” Thanks NYT for the shout out.
@RSA Never thought I’d see a reference to Lisp in the NYTimes crossword comments section! I’m searching for some sort of recursive pun here but coming up short.
@Charlie Agreed. A classic Natick
4 Down: The name of the band is “Eagles”, not “The Eagles”.
@Anonymous I had it as “I GOTTA GET” (maybe my Kentucky background?) which crossed ok with HAGI (versus Haji). Had to look at the solution to finally find the change. IMHO it works either way.
Lovely puzzle. As a baseball fan, I really appreciated the connection of WORLD SERIES with numbers 2,4,8, and 16. However, as a mathematician, I look at 2,4,8,16 as the beginning of a sequence whereas 2+4+8+16 form a partial sum of a series.
@Endoscopist I agree..PRO + POO works fine there!
