Crossword Breakfast Test (Meta)

· Por Abide and BarbaraK · Publicado por Abide · Publicado 2023-07-31T11:04:51.664Z

Meta Prompt
What you hope the morning crossword is, especially if you solve with children.
Wednesday nudges and puzzle discussion at https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?t=2355
Nudges:
The ends of the theme entries are important.
(A)bide + (B)arbara = (C)rossword or, put another way: 1 + 2 = 3
If you have a five-letter word at the outset, that is NOT the answer. You need to decode the first word to find the correct answer, which is also five letters long.
Remember that first nudge? A=1, B=2, C=3 That seems like a possible code. Can you decode the first word using numbers in the grid?

      One wiff before I woke up. Fun one. Thank you.

        Aw -- what fun is that?! :-) Grid was not a cinch for me -- I coulda used Johnny Mathis in the middle. Thanks very much, Barbara & Peter!
        • benchen71 2s · 2023-07-31T12:50:04.385Z
          Took me a couple of guesses to see what you were getting at, but it all worked out nicely in the end!
          • Capn Rick 🤓10:00 · 2023-07-31T12:49:43.339Z

                  Nice one! LOL so glad crosshare allows multiple entries.

                    It will be interesting to see how many “DIRTY” minds are out there…

                    Clever! Do post how many people were not so hasty as to get the correct answer on their first try!
                    • Hector 🤓9:48 · 2023-07-31T14:39:18.219Z

                          I wonder how many people just jumped from "not dirty" to "clean" without seeing how the numbers fit in.
                          • Philip Chow 10:47 · 2023-07-31T23:13:04.648Z
                            thanks for pointing this out! i went back and went hunting for the numbers! amazing :)

                                Omg - so I immediately entered Dirty (sorry), then tried to use the “code” but mistakenly had I=8 for CPEAN. And only realized my mistake after reading this DOH!!! It was right there in front of me! Very clever construct- thank you!
                                • merlinnimue 🤓11:41 · 2023-08-02T19:37:22.985Z

                                    Well, I certainly did! I'm still not sure how the numbers work

                                      Nice one! Had to come back to it a couple of times before I finally saw it. Thanks Peter and Barbara!
                                      • I K Snamhcok 🤓13:04 · 2023-07-31T16:16:32.678Z
                                        Very cool! Thanks, team!
                                        • DrTom 4s · 2023-07-31T16:47:00.435Z
                                          I so wanted it to be DIRTY TRIX, but of course I fell for the NOT and DIRTY, should have put them together. Fun puzzle Barbara (who spells it correctly!) and Peter. Enjoyed it, even if it wasn't necessary finished with facility (or over easy)😁
                                          • BarbaraK 🤓5:38 · 2023-08-01T01:03:10.356Z
                                            I originally put “sic” after Barbra - ouch, it hurts to type that
                                          • ajk 🤓10:55 · 2023-07-31T17:04:10.541Z
                                            Very neat! Grid much harder than the meta for me, had about 3 or 4 rough squares, but I got them all in the end. I literally said "oh that's cute" out loud when I got a couple of letters into the translation of the answer. :)
                                            • Ergcat 16:11 · 2023-07-31T17:07:32.520Z
                                              Not DIRTY (was hasty to submit) but rather CLEAN ….remembering 66across! Very clever and nice start to the meta week! Thanks, Peter & Barbra!
                                              • michaelm 🤓2:49 · 2023-07-31T17:47:52.126Z
                                                That was not OBAD, that was OGOOD. Thanks Barbara and Peter - just asking for a friend if clues beginning with Special (19D) and K (29A) were in there on purpose?
                                                • BarbaraK 🤓5:38 · 2023-08-02T23:58:08.091Z
                                                  Nope, I’m not that clever. Perfect example of what Matt says - no need to add deliberate red herrings as they’ll turn up anyway.
                                                • kymike 2s · 2023-07-31T17:49:54.820Z
                                                  Could also be dirty if the kids got their jelly-covered hands all over it. That was my first thought.
                                                  • ReB 3s · 2023-07-31T17:59:19.480Z
                                                    Whiffed first with DIRTY, puzzled over it for a bit. But then I remembered 66A and quickly CLEANed up my act. Nice touch there...
                                                    • JHSeeman 2s · 2023-07-31T18:02:52.120Z
                                                      took the first leap, then saw it...then guessed the opposite, then latched onto 66A. Fun one, thanks.

                                                              So far almost half of the submitters tried the wrong answer first.

                                                                and just realized that the clue at 66A also clues “NOT” - not dirty! How clever of you.
                                                                • woozy 🤓17:37 · 2023-08-03T02:38:31.580Z

                                                                  • Qmark 3s · 2023-08-01T12:59:28.415Z

                                                                          • woozy 🤓17:37 · 2023-08-03T02:48:08.704Z

                                                                            • Abide publicador · 2023-08-03T03:47:44.375Z
                                                                              The title might be a bit “inside baseball” if you don’t solve the main daily crosswords. The “breakfast test” for crosswords is an unwritten rule that unpleasant entries should be avoided in the grid, so as not to spoil the solver’s breakfast when doing the morning crossword. Example from a recent NYT article about constructing crosswords:
                                                                              “The last thing we need to mention about bad fill is the “Sunday Morning Breakfast Test,” which means that every entry in a crossword should be sufficiently family-friendly. The first New York Times crossword editor, Margaret Farrar, went further and once wrote that crosswords should avoid “death, disease, war and taxes.” To me, words strongly associated with most topics like that should never appear either in the grid or the clues. Absolutely. The current New York Times editor, Will Shortz, has a different take, though. When we asked him about words that should or shouldn’t be in a crossword, he wrote: “If a word or term is used in the columns of The Times, or in cultured society in general, I think it’s probably O.K. for a crossword, even if it’s touchy or slightly unpleasant. I strive to have crosswords reflect real life as much as possible. … I don’t believe in banning words, except for the very worst. And I’d be happy to abolish the term ‘breakfast test’ completely.” So, his is a pretty laissez-faire policy.”
                                                                              So when you look at the prompt, you have to question whether DIRTY could be right. The last across could have been any word but NOT is designed to have you that the first answer is wrong.
                                                                              • woozy 🤓17:37 · 2023-08-03T15:15:47.384Z

                                                                                But I still don't see why anyone would look for numbers from letters when the letters are all you need.
                                                                                • SJMcK 🤓14:58 · 2023-08-04T04:54:08.251Z

That can be encoded (as per 66A) as 4-9-18-20-25. If you look at those numbered boxes in the grid, they contain C-L-E-A-N. Still don’t get the title though.
                                                                                  • Abide publicador · 2023-08-04T12:56:14.271Z

                                                                                      To my mind it'd be easier and better to just say:
                                                                                      SOLUTION: The solution is CLEAN. The long clues are all two words with the second word being a homonym for a letter. Then letters spell DIRTY but that fails the "breakfast test". The final clue tells you to use NOT to make a negation and NOT DIRTY is to be CLEAN.
                                                                                      That's a valid and complete and legitimate solution. There is no need for the solver to go through the complicated (but one of my favorite techniques) of looking at grid numbers.
                                                                                      • Abide publicador · 2023-08-04T19:48:44.655Z
                                                                                        Valid, complete, legitimate... and a bit boring. The original draft had NOD (14-15-4) there. Would that have made for a better puzzle? Maybe so, maybe not. But without the enumeration as is, there would no way to differentiate the answer being DIRTY, NOT DIRTY, or CLEAN.
                                                                                        • woozy 🤓17:37 · 2023-08-05T15:01:04.769Z
                                                                                          Yeah, the numeration. To be honest, I didn't expect CLEAN to be the answer but I figured I had to enter it to rule it out. Had it not worked I would have tried to deal with the code. But it did work ... and I figured the code was just to draw attention to the last clue (which I tend not to automatically look for and assume is always meta relevant).
                                                                                          [Had this been a case where I was only allowed one entry I would have tried a little longer to see if I could make a stronger case for CLEAN. In this case I probably would have but if I couldn't after a while I'd have submitted it eventually.]
                                                                                          Boring? Enough? Different constructors and solvers have different ideas on what necessitates what makes a certainty. I draw your attention to the latest Pun of a kind where the solution requires but goes no further than NOT SALT being the equivalent of PEPPER
                                                                                          NOD would have made me try the numbers. But aesthetically the word NOD would seem arbitrary. Better this way.
