New York Times Crossword Solution – July 09, 2008

Posted by   Published in New York Times Crossword

This one was all about numbers, specifically types of numbers. “Prime Time”, “Odd Men Out”, “Even Tenor” and “Real McCoy” were the thematic answers here. “Et Tu”, Willus? The rest of this puzzle was ho-hum and ended sooner than we’d expected, owing to several clues being seen for the nth time.

No matter, the archive is almost exhausted and soon fresh puzzles will rain down like manna from heaven.
