  7. M&A is totally confused on whether this runt has been out in the wild before, or not. Am getting mixed indications, both ways. Since you've already had a "new" runt experience today, consider this puppy extra credit. Also, it might be a biter.

    p.s. Thanx again. Probably quite a story, behind what happened to the blog?

    ReplyDelete
  62. @r.alph: Whoops! No matter what runtpuz I load up, the address produced is always the same, and points to the same (old) puzzle that the last message got, which was not the one intended.
    I tried this with 3 different puzzles, but always get the old "You Cannot Be Serious" one, when I invoke Down Home.
    So, something is still out of joint, here.
    Thanx again, for looking...

    1. p.s.
      @r.alph: Also, the runt U solved (the Quarterly Report one) also comes out as the very old "You Can Not Be Serious" one, which was also not as intended by M&A. I reckon the Quarterly Report one might have been uploaded, when there was already a problem, a couple of days ago?
      Thanx,

  81. I clicked on "quarterly report" and it said, "you can't be serious". Probably means not to click on my March end quarterly (investment) report.

  161. OK. Daring new experiment, anyone?
    The good news for regular test solvers: You've seen this grid and all its answers, before. And you all dispatched it in pretty decent solvetimes.
    The other news: All the clues have been changed to be more feisty, to make things tougher.
