First and foremost, don't worry, this is no type of homework, required thinking, or anything like that... just me killing time.
So anyway...
This puzzle has 24 clues, 12 Across and 12 Down. It encompasses a 17 row by 15 column space. I'm including the location in the puzzle of the starting position of each word (obviously, it's a bit hard for me to actually include the puzzle itself) in the puzzle matrix (17 up/down x 15 left/right) as well as the tradition clue numbers (for ease of reference).
There will be 10 points for each word solved and for each method employed to solve the word - meaning if you guess the word and the way to get it it'll be worth 20 points).
I think that's it... and now... the clues...
