Nifty Ninety
by George Barany and 73-Across's Eldest Daughter
This "mid-week level" puzzle (17x17) was released on May 19, 2016, a date of particular significance to the puzzle's honoree (pictorial hint to the right). We have endeavored to make the puzzle accessible to solvers beyond the honoree's immediate family. After completing the puzzle (spoiler), learn more about the honoree, and about the puzzle itself, by clicking here for our "midrash."
