I've decided to save my last Schiavo post for the day she dies. Other than that, I got nothin' right now. (Did I mention I was busy at work lately?)
Nothin' except fer a quicky crossword! :)
So, here's what t' do:
1) Draw a grid 11x11.
2) Fill in the spaces as follows (o=open. b=black):
row 1: 5o, 3b, 3o
row 2: 5o, 3b, 3b
row 3: 6o, 1b, 4o
row 4: 3o, 1b, 2o, 1b, 4o
row 5: 3b, 3o, 1b, 3o, 1b
row 6: 2b, 7o, 2b
row 7: 1b, 3o, 1b, 3o, 3b
row 8: 4o, 1b, 2o, 1b, 3o
row 9: 4o, 1b, 6o
row 10: 3o, 3b, 5o
row 11: 3o, 3b, 5o
3) Number the squares appropriately.
4) Solve the puzzle using the following clues! (I didn't try very hard to stump ya.... this time.)
