Today’s Wiki-est Amazonian Googlies

My brother just flew in from Ireland, and I only have time to solve and write up an abbreviated post before picking him up at the airport. I’ll get to the rest of the post just as soon as I can.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

  2. 24:26 I don’t drink coffee, never been in a Starbucks. Thank goodness for the “down” words so I could learn to spell “Frappuccino” 🙂

  3. 19:11. I was pretty excited about finishing a Friday in under 20 mins, but then I saw this puzzle was constructed by a 15 year old along with his sister, a Harvard freshman. Ouch.

    Best –

  4. One hour and 33 min with no errors….very tough IMO….I didn’t even understand some of the clues.
    @ DuncanR….me too and I don’t see how any cup of coffee could be worth $10

  5. 18:35, no errors. Starbucks doesn’t sell a cup of coffee, rather they sell dessert for adults. Some of their blended venti size drinks are over 500 calories.

  7. Seemed kind of soft for a Friday, and that’s fine with me. But I thought FRAPPUCCINO was spelled FRAPPaCCINO, and wouldn’t know an EREBUS from an EREBaS.
