As of now, I’ve received exactly one completely correct answer to this week’s crossword. (The submission actually contained four errors, but it was followed almost immediately by an email from the submitter with the requisite four corrections, so I’m giving full credit.) Congratulations to our frequent commenter EricK.
The contest, however, remains open. I’ll be sending free autographed books (your choice of The Big Questions, The Armchair Economist, Fair Play, or More Sex is Safer Sex) to EricK and the three runners-up, where the runners-up will be determined by some yet-to-be-determined combination of accuracy and timeliness. The contest will close on a date still to be determined, but I plan to keep it open for at least another week. Keep those submissions coming!
Still working on it, but given my level of success so far I have no hope of a succesful completion.
So, two weeks later. Is it time to post the solution yet?
John: Soon. I’m still hoping for a few more entries.
Maybe if you posted a few hints you might get more entries. I couldn’t even get started. If you just printed the answers for 2 or 3 of the clues, it might get the ball rolling.
This is a test.
A test of what? Crossword abilities? :-)
After more than a month, isn’t it time to post the answers yet?
John: Tomorrow morning (10/20), your wish will be my command.
