SINGERS: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
Tabby has really taken to music, unsurprisingly, as her dad has been educating/torturing her with all sorts of, well, whatever I feel like listening to that day. No matter, she’ll play any instrument when she’s inspired. Which is lots of time, really. Whether it’s beating stick-like things (say markers) on the floor like a drum, pounding a piano, stumming a ukulele, or beating the ukulele with stick-like things like she’s in Sonic Youth. That’s my girl. Anyway, she’s a singer songwriter and she’s put together a whole repertoire. “Mommy in the Moonlight,” “Toast and Marg,” “Bubbles” to name three. And all of her songs has the repeated lyric “as you know.” It’s like a lyrical placeholder that never got cut in the editing stage. Brilliant. Leaves them (Mom and Dad) rolling in the aisles every time.
Anyway, tip of the hat to Ashish Vengsarkar for help with today’s puzzle. An alternate version of it appeared at this year’s New Jersey Regional Science Fair.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
Thanks for all the great puzzles.
Small glitch in Across Lite answer with #747. (Typo?)
62 across (second box)
48 down (fourth box)
Really liked this one! Thanks.
can someone explain the theme?
Rats in this usage are people who tell on other people in their organization, family, circle of acquaintances, typically to the authorities, but sometimes to rival organizations. Rats “rat out,” “finger”, or “sing,” hence BEQ’s use of the word Singers as a synonym for the rats in the puzzle.
Call the exterminator!!
ACL version answer has an error.
62A is given as C[RA]EUP instead of C[RAT]EUP.
Can someone explain the answer to 17 across to me? Maybe my answer, ENDO, is incorrect? the quadrant makes sense otherwise…
