    The Oracle” joins us, in wishing all the members of 1Across a very Happy 2019.

    But it’s just a number. So let’s play The Oracle’s Number Game, to get rid of your pains due to the New Year festivities and holiday travel. A few clues involve numbers, so as not to put off any numerophobes that may lurk in these deep waters. Maybe I’ll run a wholly numerical one some day. In the meantime, score one less than a score.

    The online interactive version can be completed and submitted by anyone who wishes to participate, on or before EOD 16th January 2019. All those who submit entries have a chance to enter our new leaderboard for 2019.

    Annotations for the puzzle will be discussed at 1ACross on Thursday, January 17, 2019.

    Happy solving.

    PLEASE REMEMBER TO SAVE, TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ASKED AT THE END OF THE PUZZLE
