Puzzle 0: Fudge Factor (with Chris Adams)

I spent too much time hanging out with crossword friends in DC over the weekend to finish the puzzle I was working on, so I’m offering up a rerun instead. (Yes, technically we were all also competing/volunteering at the Indie 500, but we spent a lot more time at restaurants and bars than we did at the tournament.) This puzzle was a collaboration with Chris Adams that originally ran on his website last year. I’m reposting in here for anyone who doesn’t solve his puzzles, but really, you all should be solving his puzzles. They’re good and they’re free.

Speaking of crossword friends, my friend Rich O’Malley’s new book, One Lucky Fan, was released yesterday and you should all go buy it. Rich is a good guy and a good writer, and you should all support him, even if he is a Yankees fan.

New puzzle next week. Promise.
