Answers, as promised, for last week's Skeptical Crossword - which, I understand from a very unscientifically selected sample, was way too hard.
Oh well.

Nevertheless, I do have one cause to be flattered. I have inspired OfQuack to produce one as well. Sadly, I am not going to get a chance to have a go until after this coming weekend! It's all great research - I've just been to two Skeptics in the Pubs, which I'll blog about later.
Well, if good for nothing else, I would love to see my crossword printed out on the world's most awesome Lego printer!

Hi, Alice.
I finally gave up and looked at the answers.
I had "Pod Delusion" for 2A, but then changed it when I found "Ryan Consell" fit in 3D. After all, I reasoned, there can't be two solutions to the equation Doctor Who + Dragons + Awesome Art = Skeptic ... wrong.
6D I should have got. *Kicks self*
10D and 14D I admit I still don't get, even with the answers.
I also got a couple wrong - I had Book Cover for 15A, Tate for 13D, Martin Gardner for 36A.
So, nice work! It was entertaining and I got most of the clues, but it wasn't so easy that it was a walkover.
Looking forward to the next one...
