My partner and I really enjoyed this one! We had many crossings on 22A and at first had "_U_KDRAWER". Looking at each other nervously, we wondered: "There's no way that would make its way into the New York Times crossword." We were relieved when the last two letters were J and N, and not... other letters. Terrific puzzle!
@suejean I agree. Tricky for a Monday. Mostly because of trivia terms and names that I wasn’t familiar with that make it hard to fill in on crossings (I don’t know who Paul KLEE is, I don’t know the game KENO, and I don’t know what a DEKE is in hockey, so I was basically forced to cheat in that section)
@Yvette N-tuples in mathematics is an ordered set, a generalization of "doubles", "triples", "quadruples", etc. So (3,4,5,1,2,3) is a 6-tuple. Comes up a lot in combinatorics and discrete math, so more the comp sci side of math than the engineering side of math
