And of course, I suspect you would be able to... If you bring a puzzle of yours next time you see me, we can play the David Rosen/Peter Gordon game. You get to be Peter! And I wouldn't mind being David - dominating the ACPT so thoroughly I have to retire...
peter did win the 3rd time around by memorizing the grid in advance. if i went that far, i could beat you. but if "all" i did was memorize all the answers, i probably couldn't. i am still laughably slow at looking back and forth between grid and clues on paper.
and for what it's worth, the last few times i've had a puzzle published, you've beaten me, although i didn't "solve" that tough CHE because i had already gone through it once to make the .puz.
