I'm stuck in a rut called NumCross, and this most certainly won't be the last one. Hope you enjoy this numeric twist on the crossword!

Hey Nancy, my local copy is showing that A Across is clued as Q Across x (times) II Across. Can you verify that your copy has a plus sign?

You are correct, my copy shows multiply. I wonder how many. times I looked at that and still read it as a plus. I know the CrossSum puzzles cause me problems, I think this shows why.... Maybe dyslexia????

Hey Dave, Could you check out this puzzle? For A across the solution is a three digit number which is the sum of 2 two-digit numbers. So the first number must be a 1. But A down is a three digit number which is the sum of another three digit number plus 104. This is a contradiction as the first digit of A down is already established as a 1.
