Thanks to u/zc_eric for choosing my mathematical clue!
In keeping with the numeric theme, this week we're making clues that reference other entries! In an actual crossword grid, every clue, with its matching entry, is named by a number and a direction like 1-Across, 3-Down, and so on. So often in such crosswords, you will have clues with reference numbers such as "6" or "6A" or "6-Across" that need to be replaced by the corresponding entry. So your clues should be submitted in multiples, and with reference numbers; the first clue(s) can be whatever you want, but the last clue should include something like "6" or "6A" or "6 across" to reference the previous clue(s).
Here's an example (make sure to submit each set of clues together as ONE comment):
Ideally, try to integrate the reference number into the surface, but if you can't, that's fine.
Good luck! I'll announce the winning clue next Thursday.
