The Gizmodo Monday Puzzle is back. This Halloween puzzle is not for the faint of heart. Excited to be working with @RosePastore again on this series.

@bewildering_ly Great read. Thanks for giving us insight into your process. You tossed a lot of passable clues in the scrap heap — I’m impressed by your restraint to not let a few slide and say “good enough.” The audio clue definitely elevated my solving experience.

Ten factorial (aka 10!) seconds is exactly six weeks. There are 7 days in a week There are 24 = 8 x 3 hours in a day There are 3600 = 10 x 9 x 5 x 4 x 2 seconds in an hour So 6 weeks has 6 x 7 x 8 x 3 x 10 x 9 x 5 x 4 x 2 seconds, which equals 10 factorial

The holy grail of crossword construction. I attempted to do this with a mini (5x5) a few years back and couldn't even get that off the ground. Marvelous.
