The Anatomy of an Error as a Puzzler Matt Gaffney @metabymatt how many people have pointed out (re today s Daily Beast) that 9D didn t star in 4D and in fact had only one line and it was a voiceover?

On Tuesday, we had [Directions-finding app] at 10-A for WAZE and [Hyundai model] at 3-D for AZERA, crossing at the Z. What s so tricky about that? Nothing, if you knew one or both of those answers.
