Anybody else automatically sit up straighter when solving 19-Down?
The rainbow mnemonic I was taught at my all-girls Catholic school, by a teacher with a twinkle in her eye, was Run Over, You Girls, Boys In View! Fifty years later, I still use it.
@Joe Felice Terima kasih (thank you, in Malay) for knowing the word AMOK and the beautiful island of PENANG. Wanted to clarify that “Malaysian” refers to the country of Malaysia with its diverse (multi-ethnic) population while “Malay” refers to the rich language and culture of the Malay people who are based across several Southeast Asian countries (and beyond). Hence AMOK is a Malay word while PENANG is a Malaysian island (and state).
Yes it was tough but I really enjoyed this puzzle - decided to solve with the “stolen artists” entered as rebuses (rebi?) to keep track more systematically. Once I was able to get the remaining squares filled correctly…TADA! The rebus squares were automatically replaced by the corresponding vertical clue letters to spell out the special message. Happy dance!
