Happy New Year! Resolve to solve more puzzles this year, okay? We’re celebrating today with a straight quiz on record-setters of 2012. How well do you remember last year? Maybe this will become an annual tradition around these parts. (If it seems to take a little longer than usual, that may be because it’s a 17x puzzle.)
In the comments section two weeks ago, some of you mentioned some issues solving on the iPad. Hopefully that cleared itself up last week; if not, please let me know. There’s not much I can do to troubleshoot Internet Pad problems on my end (since I haven’t got one), but I still want to make your solving process as pleasurable as possible. If you do enjoy this week’s puzzle, share it with a friend!

Fun puzzle and cool year-end review. I always think of 13D as a directional indicator more than a speed indicator, but I know NOTHING about aviation. Especially enjoyed 48D clue.
Indeed, I usually think of 13D giving direction, but you can determine (relative) speed by considering the angle that it’s hanging at. (Just making things a little tough!)
Umm, Neville, I believe it’s called an “Information Pad.”
Fun year-end review. A lot of fresh clues and answers. Got more answers from perps than usual, but still thought-provoking and challenging. Didn’t know Bulgaria had tsars too. Had to google 65A, but that’s probably a generational thing!
Entertaining puzzle. No problems loading .puz file on iPad. Thanks Neville!
Nice puzzle as always!
