![]() and that's the Friends character who made it in. One of the constructors is named ROSS.It blew my mind when someone pointed out to me that "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and the "ABCs" are to the same tune.She wants me to tell you that UCLA is merely the No. My Cal-grad sister texted me to tell me she literally grimaced when she was forced to type UCLA into the puzzle.I had "blanco" instead of BLANCA, and it took me a while to catch that hiccup. I got confused in the southwest corner with 65A: Like the middle band of the flag of México.The best clue/answer for me was 41A: Means justifiers, perhaps, as ENDS.At least, that's how every group project I've ever been a part of has gone.
