Interesting

Well Nelson, every puzzle maker has to get one of these out of their system. Adam could probably tell us how many we have here.

Made me dizzy...

interesting though... LL only but I had to solve it "around and around"

It's actually surprising that the solve was interesting. The clues (and title) were not very promising.

I agree that it was an interesting solve, and the title was a good fit.

Indeed!

I also like the pattern created by the clues when completed.

I enjoyed the solve

Agreed about Adam. He was an underrated contributor. Not that he didn't have his moments, but mostly ok. I, like a lot of people, took his comments about other puzzle numbers as a slight on the creator. Basically, a "that's been done before." However, if you look at some of his follow-up and banter you start to realize that what he was doing was two-fold. First, he was directing people to other puzzles of a similar theme in case they were interested. Secondly, I think he spent a lot of time cataloguing the puzzles with key terms in his own searchable database and was proud of the fact that he could reference the other puzzle numbers relatively quickly using his labor of love. It rubbed a lot of people the wrong way and I dare say that was a bit disheartening for him. In the end, had he prefaced his comments with "For those interested in other puzzles of a similar theme, here are a few:" instead of "See Puzzle #" then the impressions he was making would have garnered more positive (or a least less negative) attention and his mood would've generally been better. He really only got combative when attacked. Anyway, lots of rambling...I kind of miss him too.

Yes David!
