There has been a healthy flow of positive response to the 2005 IORCC
Supplemental Crossword Puzzle.

With over 720 downloads of the puzzle, and yet not a single finished
completions submitted it makes one wonder if the puzzle is just too
hard? I have received a lot of coorespondence about folks wanting
hints and more clues. So, wanting to be fair to all, there is now a
public IORCC Crossword Puzzle Hints and Tips. And, the IORCC now uses
Ecto for its frontend blogging needs. Enjoy the crossword puzzle! Its
really quite a hoot to work on...

9 Down Spoken With a Twise, Influential
47 Across 'Hard Rock' Sponsor
13 Down In A Class by Itself
59 Across Persian Island of Rubies

This puzzle isn't so easy, first one to submit a clean/finished puzzle
wins a TBD'ed prize from one of the Official IORCC Sponsors grabbag.
