The word Mean or Means appears a total of 14 times in the
3/1/07 clues. Nothing else accompanies it in the clues. In other
words, Mean or Means appears all by itself 14 times.
E,g., 19 Across: Mean
20 Across: Means
8 Mean, 6 Means clues
How fasr did you solve this puzzle?
19 minutes 11 seconds, and I had to Google something.
I got everything except the northeast in about 7 minutes. The NE killed me.
Not a very fun puzzle, IMO. Some of the “means” were real stretches.
Damn fine job on your part, nonetheless. I was a total failure on this one.
(Just got home from babysitting the grandchildren all day, which is why this post was so late in coming.)
