There are several other Jumble blogs, but the ones I checked all started off by listing the answers. In this blog, answers can be either hinted at or masked by burying them in comments. No overt spoilers!
All hints are in the comments!

Mathematics may seem daunting, but can be fascinating. Once you get a handle on it, it should be fun investigating! Demographics is a field for which ad men are so grateful. How a population is made up: average age, or racial ratio.
Sounds are mathematical, volume, pitch, and reverberation. How loud a cymbal's clang, how sustained a chord's vibration. The fabric arts, as well, use mathematical conceptions, A Peruvian poncho's patterns, a Persian's fractal predilections!
Everything in nature shows God's mathematical hand. According to Fibonacci, flowers and plants each have a plan! Math's not just dreary numbers, squares and hypotenuses No, the flight plans out to Mars show it has some useful uses!
Congratulations, SwampCat; it's fun, isn't it? Today I only got this by dint of searching Owen's poem diligently for hints to the solution. The clues came easily, but that solution was elusive. Thank you, Owen, both for the hints and for a lovely poem on one of my favorite topics. Liked all the stanzas but especially the second.
I completed it last night - with great difficulty - and saved it in my dock, as I always do, also the completed crossword. Then this morning Safari "quit unexpectedly" so I lost everything. Had to redo the puzzle and came here to try to get the answers from Owen's great poem, and it worked! I did sort of remember some of the answers when I saw them, but probably would have taken some time to figure them out again cold. Thanks, Owen.

I did it!! I never get the whole jumble. I just come here for Owens poems. But today I worked the jumble... successfully! Poem was great, too, Owen.

ReplyDeleteI really didn't want to work the J when I started it, but 1, 2, and 3 came easily. I needed a hint for 4, and the S.
