Do you dare fight the Crossword Shark? My effort to add to the non-mathematical puzzle collection here in Edmonton. I am a wordsmith, not a mathematician, and I know many of you out there are the same way. Hopefully this one will provide a little bit of fun for you.

If you get stuck, there are some terrific crossword dictionaries online. Not to mention that if you Google many of the clues, the answer should be easy to find.

This one may take some time, but once you solve the crossword, if you look carefully, the directions for the cache should reveal themselves. Because of the time and hard work that this cache entails, the FTF prize is a limited edition UBC Geograd GeoGuitar unactivated geocoin. It is #18 of 25 minted.

Good luck, and don't fear the Crossword Shark.
