Wow, two major misspellings in two days. At least BEQ's didn't appear in any newspapers. I am available for proofreading and test-solving! ("Guaranteed Fastest in America!")

This is post #500! How many do you think have content besides solving times?

Don't look now (or do), but the next six Post Puzzlers have already been uploaded. It's like the old days, when you could solve the NY Sun puzzles in advance. Which I didn't, but with these I might not be able to help myself...

Couldn't resist the new Post Puzzler (and Klahn freestyle), but I'm saving the 21s for later...

(Later: Jon Delfin suggested I might hit a record time on the Newsday, and he was right!)

I've got a very busy few days coming up, so I might not be solving the puzzles in a timely fashion...

Facebook alerted me that the NYT was extra-hard, so I took care not to fall into any traps. Aside from the fact that I made zero wrong guesses, I also had very few immediate gimmes (STEIG, ALS, and SLA - hey, hasn't Will said he's trying to retire that entry?), so I'm not sure how I did so well.
