I saw a lot of cool photos of various solvers tackling my SuperMega that was in the Times supplement last month, but probably none cooler than backstage at the New York City Ballet. Here’s a snap of the Mouse King from “The Nutcracker” scribbling down some answers. Amazing. Shout out to Marty Prudenti who snapped the photo. And while I’m here, if there are any solvers out there who really want to tackle that monstrosity, click here for a digital file. You’ll need this program to run it. Enjoy.

Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
