LAST WEEK’S RESULTS:
This week’s title might be apropos, but the electoral college is probably not the best subject for everyone out there at the moment, so let’s blaze through the write-up. Solvers were asked to answer the trivia question in the grid, which was:
WHAT THREE STATES
COMPRISE THE SAME
NUMBER OF LETTERS
AS THEY DO VOTES ON
THE ELECTORAL MAP?
Those would be contest answers:
NEVADA (six letters, six votes)
KANSAS (six letters, six votes)
KENTUCKY (eight letters, eight votes)
This week’s winner, whose name was chosen at random from among the 488 correct entries received, is Alex Sisti of Whitesboro, N.Y. In addition to a MGWCC pen, pencil, and notepad set, Alex will also receive a 1-year subscription to Matt Gaffney’s Daily Crossword.
THIS WEEK’S INSTRUCTIONS:
This week’s contest answer is a drink.
Solve well, and be not led astray by words intended to deceive.
