@Nobis Miserere 1) Psycologists refer to the "Inner self" as the Ego. 2) Geologists call several hundred million years an "Era" 3) I personally love crossword puzzles that teach me new things rather than spoon feeding me what I already know.
@BK You evidently haven't read any PG Wodehouse,
What a wonderful puzzle. This made my dark winter morning much brighter! Kudos!
Is it only me, or is the Vertex unsolvable today? I am left with 3 unconnected nodes on the right side with 1,2 and 1 as their numbers. They won't connect. I can connect the top node (1) to the middle node (2) which leaves me with a 0,1,1, but the final 2 won't connect. Anyone have the same problem?
Delightfully tricky. So many wonderful "aha" moments. Thank you, Spencer and Jem!
This puzzle was sheer brilliance!!
On of the answers should have been Alfie.
Too late to comment on the exquisite Sunday Puzzle due to Fathers' Day Festivities. But I have to, so I'll do it here. It was such a wonderful mashup of my two favorite NY Times games! That it was a fast solve was appreciated this Sunday. Funny story: my husband daughter and I went to an old NYC haunt, and new one for my daughter: The Holiday Cocktail Lounge on St. Marks Place. The bartender there has a bet with another bartender friend that she can come up with a Connections game every day for a month. She's into her second week. We not only played her connections games which were satisfyingly tricky, but we also gave her ideas for other connections games. A blissful way to end an excursion to the city for great Chinese food.
At least two naticks for me. But, nonetheless, I loved it!
One of the cleverest puzzles ever! Many thanks to the Kolkowitzes
@MFSTEVE It is unfair, especially when the answer key that can be peaked at shows a Kit Kat on 2 lines ... something that cannot be done in a rebus.
@Ibehooved She used the qualifier "nearly".
What did I just draw? The hint "show of loyalty" isn't helping.
Very clever theme! I enjoyed it even if it went too fast.
@Bob T. Thank you! That makes sense. All my loyalty cards are virtual these days and I don't recall any loyalty cards that were fewer than 10 punches.
