Puzzle Notes

Good evening, dear solvers -
We're proud to present the AVCX debut of Keshav Sriram!

Keshav is a graduate student from Berkeley, CA studying laser physics. You can find more of his work here.

I (Dan) had the pleasure of working with Keshav on a couple of Browser Crossword cryptics last year, and he was an insightful test-solver as well. I think the AVCX audience will be challenged and delighted by this puzzle. Until next time -
Dan & the AVCX Cryptics team
