| Description | On Tuesday, November 5, 1996, a standard 15 by 15 crossword puzzle constructed by Jeremiah Farrell appeared in The New York Times that the editor, Will Shortz, said was the most amazing puzzle he'd ever seen.
The puzzle is predicting who will win the 1996 presidential election despite the fact the polls hadn't closed as of the morning the puzzle ran. How could the constructor and the editor be so sure they'd picked the right candidate? |
