Ahh, it's time for another Fred Piscop puzzle. This one is called "Conclusions."
17A: CNBC Afternoon Program (CLOSING BELL). For more on this show, check their Web site.
57A: Certain game-show contestant's response (FINAL ANSWER). "Is that your FINAL answer?" Of course, this question comes from the classic game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" Wow, this game show has been on since 1998! That's a long time in TV-show years. Although this show was created in the UK, I remember the first U.S. version with Regis . . . at one point it was on five nights a week. The show was also celebrated in the Oscar-winning picture "Slumdog Millionare." Check out some final moments from this classic show in the video below.
11D: Assembly line output (END PRODUCT). They say never to buy cars that are made on Mondays or Fridays. This may just be an urban legend, according to those myth-busters at Snopes.
28D: Subject for da Vinci (LAST SUPPER). No explanation necessary. Perfectly appropriate since it's almost Easter.
Just two more days of work and I'm on vacation! This will be a "staycation" with things planned for the day. I have not had a day off since December 30, so I'm looking forward to it (despite having to eat matzo all week).
Sorry to be so short, but it's been a hectic day!
Till tomorrow. . . .
Signing off,
The Puzzlechick
