  • $\begingroup$ @zeethreepio Was there a particular one that gave it away? I was afraid someone would get it right away so I made it hard on purpose. But later I edited some of the clues to make it a bit easier. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @JS1 For some reason the age 22 and age 23 clues together sparked something in my head and it just clicked. It had me stumped for most of the day though. Good puzzle! $\endgroup$ Jun 28, 2019 at 1:09
