    Great puzzle Jesse - I kept trying to figure out how to fit THREE into 3 squares. I laughed when I saw III 😂

      Thanks, Mike. That clue has stumped everyone so far!

          Loved the consistency of the theme. The top half was very doable, but things got quite tricky in the bottom. For my taste, the bottom had the best clues (but also some head-scratchers, for my tastes.)
