Time flies on my 18-minute metro morning commute as I do (and finish) the free commuter paper crossword puzzle. Well, yesterday evening, in a semi-empty train, I was seated near a 30-something lovey-dovey couple working on the same crossword puzzle I had completed that morning. They took turns reading the clues aloud and then they chatted about possible answers. As I pretended to be napping, I painfully listened to them mutually agree on a majorly incorrect answer. They excitedly wrote it in with pen and continued with the surrounding clues, as if they had just cracked a WWII cipher. It was really hard for me to keep my mouth shut about their fatal error and not save them from impending puzzle doom.
