A great puzzle to debate. Wound up with a truly glacial Tuesday time. Thought something had to be wrong with EXOD-TAXI, largely because I was getting the incorrect signal. Violated self-imposed "don't search before 30 minutes" cheating limitations by googling "gen. follower." Rex turned up but w/o an explanation on the results page. That was enough to trigger an, "oh yes, it's Exodus" reaction, and to get me looking for my error elsewhere. I had PLAID YOGURT and DUMB...took me a while, but I finally saw the light there and got one of my worst Tuesday times ever. Gotta tip my hat to Jay Kaskel and to Will on this one. If I'd just lost precious minutes on Exod., I might be full of righteous anger. But having DUMB as my final hang-up wrong answer really was rather beautiful and appropriate.
I wanted MERKEL or SCHROEDER for "Kohl's competitor"...clue was a nice misdirection for the German politics nerds among us who don't do enough shopping...
On to Rex and the commentariat...
Ah...Rex w/ his much higher skill level had the same prob in the middle that I did...I like his bemused reax to his for him disastrously slow time...this stuff ain't life or death...similar mellow tone among the Rexeans. Goodo...off to the first day of the new semester...
