I came to read the comments curious to see how people felt about this puzzle, and I see lots of grumpy solvers, so I'll comment to provide a different slant. I began and immediately had the very rare feeling of being on the same wavelength as the constructors; I just "got it" and this feeling continued through most of the puzzle. I usually start the Saturday puzzles with trepidation, but this just flowed for some reason. I see this was not the case for most and I'm not trying to brag, just to say that as a long-time solver, sometimes you just feel in sync with another mind(s) and it's thrilling. I'm 73, to give you some idea of my cultural references. Thanks for a great Saturday puzzle!
