On March 14th the math world celebrates Pi Day. Like any good religion, splinter sects develop. There are those of us who argue the true high holiday is June 28th: https://tauday.com. This cross number is in observance.

Yay! I was craving another one of these number crosswords. Got stuck on 21a, which I thought should be 38 (13x3-1), not sure if I’m parsing something wrong or if that’s a mistake). Happy Tau Day to those who celebrate
Two minor issues came up (though I confess I didn’t work out all of the numerical clues). In 21A the current clue would be 38 (3 • 13 – 1) not 68.
Also, the clue for 1A didn’t make sense to me — the atomic number of mercury is 80 (in base 10) but 628 in base 36 would be equivalent to 296 in base 10. (If I solve the quadratic I don’t think there’s an integer base that works either.) What am I missing? That said, it was clear from the theme and title.
For 1A, the conversion is from 628 in base 10 to base 36, which uses numerals 0-9 and letters A-Z for its digits. 628 (base 10) is written HG in base 36 (atomic symbol, not number, of mercury).
