It does draw a five-pointed star (remember to return to 1), but I can't imagine that anyone would START where this one asks you to. I would begin at the top, in the position where #4 is. Doesn't everyone else do that, too? Or is this just another instance where I'm just a lefty living in a right-handed world?

I start at 5 and head in the direction of 4, 3, 2, 1. Let's all draw stars at Stamford!

I actually ended up doing the math on the seconds on that clue myself. It's always interesting to see where people had an easy time of it, and where it became crossword hell. Looking back, I used to draw that kind of star in reverse order, 5-4-3-2-1-5. Hadn't thought of that. Does seem tricky to start at the '1' location, but hey, it's a tricky puzzle.

To those going to CT, have a good trip, and a better weekend!

Whoops, Orange beat me to the punch there. I think I'll have to pass on Sudoku, and make stars instead. I think that's more my speed, and probably a lot less frustrating. Besides, it's a better souvenir to bring home and put on the fridge ;).

Are you planning a Fiend Fan Fest in Stamford?
