    Nice one! I love 21D but I think using a name like that probably needs a qualifier like "perhaps"/"say"/"?", since "Manning" is acting as an example rather than a definition for "Eli".

      Yeah, I think that's fair. Thanks for the feedback!

      16A is just one of those perfectly written clues! I appreciate how devious it was!

        Thank you!

        23a made me lol - excellent! Could not understand the clue for neon though...?
        • Byron 1:09:49聽路聽2024-05-02T18:10:03.969Z
          Neon is element 10. I think the first ten clues the symbol "Ne", and the second ten clues the full name. Tough.

            That's what I was going for, not sure if using 10 as an indicator for neon in either case was fair game, but it was a fun idea I wanted to try out
