Loved it! Now onto one with interrobangs!?
Although I love to do these on the Thalys, I confess I don't always get through them without some assistance. I can often blame not being an American, or when I feel really deflated - Not a native speaker. However, I had this one open all day and am happy to say it's now fully solved! Really enjoyed it, being stuck and overcoming some nasty ones. It wasn't a pure victory, I had to look up a few cells, but that's good enough for me (izzatso and the 'w' missing from wnbaers had me for a while). The logical fallacies were great though, and really helped me on the way at my first pass! (I do wish you had included my pet peeves - the oftmisused "begging the question".
Loved it! Thanks for sharing the feeling of being clever. What a work of art.
Had a very hard time with this one, although seemingly at different places than more experienced puzzlers here. IKE was my first guess, as the only 3-character South Park character I know. DERRIERE was also in there before any crosses... But I had to double-check some I'd looked up in puzzlement. To me some of the answers could've been cryptic clues. Yoked? Serape? Pinto? Maa? Oh well! I'll get better. Thank you for the nice puzzle
I was done with this puzzle well-below my average time on this one, record time even. I got absolutely nowhere and gave up after the first pass. Good on everyone that did and enjoyed this headscratcher!
This may be the first time I had to look up more after filling out the puzzle than while filling out the puzzle. The empty boxes made more sense to me than the (correctly) filled ones.
I think this was my favorite ever crossword! Thank you so much
@Amanda the thing that's -really- annoying fur the non-U.S. people is baseball questions. Geography, sure. U.S. presidents, OK. Brands... not great. But baseball... not even Americans themselves care about baseball.
@Joseph had to look that up. Guessed Irene, guessed rod, didn't make any sense to me. I do think I could've gotten CDs with more time, but it seemed hopeless with 4 to go. Oh well!
