#29 - "Undershorts"

Published weekly by expert constructor Peter Gordon, the Fireball crossword is famous for being hard. How hard? Well, in the words of Peter Gordon, if you need to ask, too hard for you! It is not regularly a meta crossword, but does feature a contest or meta puzzle several times throughout the year. Available here for a subscription: http://www.fireballcrosswords.com

Brian. I spent more time trying to figure out how to start a new topic than I did solving the meta. I think you told me before but I don’t remember how.

So what’s going to be the metaphor for solving Fireball? Whatever it is, I’m there.

Clever puzzle. Classic Patrick Berry.

There should be a New Topic button at the top of each section (except WSJ). Let me know if for some reason you're not seeing it.

This was fun. I'm 2 for 2 this week! (Was the MMMM this week 2? Can't threemember. If so, I'm 3 for 3.)

Tomorrow I golf before taking on the MGWCC. 4!
