"Triple Double" - September 5, 2021

#1

Post by hashbrown »

I'm sure I speak for us all when I say that I'm excited PBWMC is back with the first puzzle of Season 3!

The usual details from the email:
This week's puzzle: Triple Double
Complexity Scale™ rating of 2 / 10. (Starting off with what I hope is an easy one!)

The answer to this week's meta is a record-holding NBA star.
(You may need Google's help for this one).

Crosshare link: https://crosshare.org/crosswords/Q6hqlPALw9FCVuD0V7ln

Also just for clarity, PBWMC is run by Will who can be found on the forum under the handle AnswerPfinder!

It's back! And I see Will has pent-up crossword creation urges (it's a slighter larger grid!)

Solved and submitted.

Solved and submitted. Not a big NBA fan, so I did need help from Google

A crossword by Will is always good. ;)

I cannot believe I got this one; I know even less about this sport than I do about baseball!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Not yet confirmed. Meanwhile, I'm looking at an easily found Easter egg. Are there others?

Dino me!

So nice to have Pandora’s Blocks back on a lazy Sunday!

EDIT: Oops! My first answer was WRONG. So I did some googling (I'm not, sadly, much of a basketball fan) and I got it right on the second go. And I can confirm: The correct answer is much more apt than my initial bonehead submission. Thanks again, Will!
