Since some of the clues proved difficult even for a venerable and plucky bunch such as Grape Nehi, extra hints have been provided. Namely, whenever an answer is hyphenated or two or more words long, the lengths of the words have been listed, British-style. For example, (8,3) after a clue indicats that the answer consists of two words, the first eight letters long, the second three letters. (4-9) indicates a hyphenated answer, with the hyphen occurring after the fourth letter.
Keep in mind that EVERY word in the puzzle bears a trivia connection with at least one of the standard trivia categories of TV, Movies, Sports, Comics, etc.
Check here if you used no books or reference materials of any kind. (No extra credit will be given-- we're just making Maria LaConcha's morning a bit brighter.)
(NOTE: Maria LaConcha was an ongoing team of the early 1980s who very ostentatiously issued regular public refusals NOT to use any reference materials, ever. Perhaps not coincidentally, they never won a contest.)
