Ryan solves the NYT, Tue 12-2-8
Good gravy! I had to use google to figure out the bottom right of this Matt Ginsberg puzzle. Google! On a Tuesday! A Tuesday! Google! What the hell?
63A. Egypt’s Nasser (GAMAL). I really need to learn things about stuff. I’ve never heard of this guy.
66A. Classic British Jaguar (ETYPE). I do not own a car. When I did own a car it was not a Jaguar.
49D. Highest point in an orbit (APOGEE). This was frustrating. APOGEE has already shown up a couple of times this year and I had APO__E and still couldn’t think of it.
53D. Day’s march (ETAPE). This one I don’t even begin to understand.
So, there it is. Google on a Tuesday. I am disgraced.
The rest of the puzzle was much fun. The theme was Sound Effects.
