Fun! I’ve submitted. We’ll see if I’m off the couch or just hallucinating.
Confirmed. Gracie says "Hi!".

FINALS WEEK!

(Not for you, but for my students.)

I'll be getting back to you with results, leaderboard updates, and nudges as often as possible. But solving polynomial equations will take precedence until Thursday.

This is a Week 1, but I'll give a nudge or two on Wednesday...just in case.

My sincere thanks to Peter and Al for their input. Thanks also to Joe for posting as this West Coast guy operates on a different schedule.

I hope you enjoy!!

Off the couch!

As the husband of a math teacher (now retired) of some 36 years, I believe I recognize Steve’s stress this week.

Nice one, Steve! LOL'd at 15A and 46A. I thought the answer to 22A would be "Dr. Tom."
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Off the couch. Cool puzzle; well constructed!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

(Un)officially OTC, but confident. Good one from the Thurman8er!’

BTW, too nerdy to say that I LOVED Algebra?! After 8th grade algebra I was convinced that I would be a math major in college. Then I took Calculus my first semester - - got an A, but it was Waaaayyyy too hard for me. My 54 (out of 100) was an A on the final (curved of course). People were crying coming out of the exam. . . .
