Heyyyyy I know it’s a little early, but has anyone else gotten an answer that surely seems like it has to be right but that wasn’t accepted on the answer page? Edit: omg just kidding I figured out what I did wrong (but I can’t believe I did it twice?!) ---

Similar issue with 48 across. Posted text is “Harness for coupling exam” when it should say “Harness for coupling oxen”. ---
