Fun trivia: UTC doesn't stand for anything. In English, it'd be CUT: coordinated universal time. In French, it'd be TUC: temps universel coordonné. The "compromise" between English and French speakers on the groups that formed it was no one wins and we use an acronym that isn't short for anything.

This puzzle was aMAzing. Yes, some of the trivia clues were rough; it took me longer than my Thursday average, but I enjoyed every minute of it. Brilliant construction and a lot of fun.

Great puzzle! Would've been cute if the app turned each rebus square into a penny upon solving, but obviously I'm nitpicking here.

Love Spaceship Earth. Proudly wear my "If you can read this... Thank the Phoenicians!" hat, which almost no one gets.

Wow. I might technically be COSPLAYing right now, in my pajamas that look like a Starfleet uniform, but I did not get that until the very end, on crosses, and still failed to parse it. (My brain: "What's cōs play?") The problem is, I've been going to fan conventions for decades, and have seen cosplay at all of them, so "modern" had me thinking video games. Whether any of this is ironic is left as an exercise to the reader.

Two very difficult but very enjoyable Fridays in a row. Keep it up! Or, uh, maybe drop these on Saturday instead? 😅

Don't take Elon out on Nikola! Nikola was awesome!

Couldn't remember ARAMAIC until I thought of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Whatever works, right? 😅

Yes, and I'm one of the biggest fans of SimCity you'll ever meet. I need to go sit in the shame cube now...

Great puzzle! Too bad whoever drew the circles in the app put Saturn and Uranus in the same orbit and nothing on the orbit inside it. 🤦
