    Fun, thank you! I was sure 9A was PIE for a while… 🪓 🥧
    In the clue to 24A I think it should be “of” rather than “or”.

      Good catch - thanks! And thanks for solving!
      • Philip Chow 🤓4:04 · 2024-04-24T18:30:36.472Z
        my first guess was also PIE! i don't know why... cute puzzle! the figure 8 shape allowed for some lovely long down entries

          Why isn't "International Pie Throwing Day" a thing? It should be a thing.

              Well done. Wonderful balance of long and short answers provided by the figure eight.

                Between the unconventional grid dimensions and the irreverence of the fill, I was picking up major Lil AVC X vibes here. Nice job!
