I never did settle on anything for A2, tried to come up with something about contact sports, boxers, sports ring, etc., nothing worked. Don't think I'd have ever figured it out. 'Sixteen' was my first guess for A3, then thought that couldn't be right. (Glad to see others came up with the same thing.) and changed my mind to 'Dean's list'. Had 'Follow the dots' for B3, close enough? And 'One Day at a Time" for D1, and that song has been going through my mind ever since. Never did get D3, even with the hints. All I could see was something to do with cards, but I don't know enough card game terms, so thought maybe 'Jack of Diamonds'. But knew from the clues that that was wrong. (But I like it better than the real answer.) And the bonus gave me some trouble, too, until I realized I was reading the 'o' as a zero. Then it got easy. This was really a good puzzle, a good mix all the way from easy to durned near impossible. At first glance it looked like it was going to be really tough, but after a closer look, some were pretty easy. Lots of fun, as always, thanks, Jasdip! Rusty

4. Paradox: Ugh yes we did gave that in the para puzzle. In addition to “doctor doctor” that others had, I considered ”second degree,” ”two degrees,” etc. 6. No two ways about it: I was so close. had the “about it” part but the best I had was ”knows about it.” I knew it was wrong. 8. You are full of baloney: Ok this one I’m annoyed about. I moved too far away from the actual words and had ”up to your knees in cr4p.” I didn’t like it but people were laughing so I talked myself into it. Rest I got. Not too bad. Sometimes I don’t like the variety but this one was fun!

I did actually have catwalk because nothing else made sense to me, though I agree that I would have depicted walking differently. And I was guessing overshadow, but I had a feeling that wasn’t right. Got everything else, though, including the bonus! Thanks, Jasdip - you seem to have found a new source for these!
