A good example of why the "rules" are not absolute. Very creative, challenging and enjoyable to solve.
Knew Satie's first name, just couldn't spell it :-s And i think FACEPLANTS are green (lively) all year round too! #CloseButNoCigar
Brilliant! The seemingly impossible 8 Down actually provided much-needed clues for the Acrosses.
Excellent puzzle, fun fill and clueing. 49 Across not a heavy lift, even in this Too-Gee environment ;)
Stared at my 'solution' for 20 min b4 giving up :( Got rebus combos, but didn't choose roots over squares - imho 57 Across hint not definitive. Would prefer rebus puzzles be limited to specific day, how 'bout Feb 29th? ;)
Liked the puzzle, got the non-rebus rebus thing and filled grid correctly - except didn't know 30 Down REIKI and locked in on GAPER for 44 Down :( So no CAKE for me! #FailButFun
@Anonymous Unclear if hint is advising entry of the number to be squared or the number resulting from squaring.
Too bad 5 Across author Seton's first name isn't ANNA; 7 Down works either way! Spent 20 min staring at 'completed' puzzle before giving up :-s
I claim victory with 43 Across RAG/39Down OMAN :-D
@Bruce Correction: 43 Across TAG/39Down ORAN :-D

@Barry Ancona Must agree with ur 2nd point, sloppy of me. This was a 2-coffee puzzle, rare for Tuesday. And maybe more coffee woulda enabled me to do the comment in 1 try :)
