 		Only if you want to re-solve it yourself. The confirmed solve is above in this thread. This is why we request that folks read and [search] before posting.

W. T. Williams and G. H. Savage are Real People who wrote Puzzle Books in the 1940s, "The Peguin Puzzle Books". Would it help solve this cross-number, if we went back and found the orginal puzzle?


For the curious, the original crossnumber is reprinted as puzzle 448 in The Penguin Book of Curious and Interesting Puzzles edited by David Wells ISBN 0-14-014875-2. It was originally published in The Strand Problems Book by W. T. Williams.

But it wouldn't help, since the PCX puzzle has been adapted from the original, and as a consequence, the answers are different. Easier, as aliendial says, to look at the spoilers (if'n ya don't wanna solve it yerself).

 		Pardon my stupidity, but I'm not grasping something here.

How is it possible to solve 10D? It references 9D, which in turn, references 10D. It loops. Even after the two erratas to the card's text (9D is backwards, and 8D is 1 and 1/3), it still doesn't make sense to me...

Can someone explain that to me?

Use logic (or trial and error) to figure out the only number combination that fits these clues and other numbers in the puzzle. You can't math it out because of the circular reference.
