Theme: So you like solving crossword puzzles, Eh?
 |
A CSO to our own, CanadianEh! |
Puzzling thoughts:
Today's constructor, Zachary David Levy, selected a few common phrases and adds a phonetic "long a" syllable to them. By doing so he creates some interesting play-on-words that also use a couple of homophones
P-O-Ws have become a common "theme" of Friday puzzles. Some are better than others, and after my "intro" you'll see how this one from ZDL grades. We'll see if he brought his "A" game ...
Which segues right to the reveal (found at 37-across, in the center of the grid): Peak performance, and an apt title for this puzzle: A GAME.
The themers:
17-across. Therapist's questionnaire?: SELF SURVEY. This one plays off of the more familiar term "SELF-SERVE" which refers to that which you can help yourself without any assistance. (see image below) In this example, the word "survey" combines the phonetic "serve" with "ey" (which sounds like a "long a"), and completes the idea
 | |||
| I'm sure a lot of salad bars were not in use during COVID |
30-across. Paper model of a wrinkly dog?: CARD SHAR-PEI. This entry was a bit more literal than the first as it uses the word "Shar-pei", a wrinkly dog (see image below), without any phonetic or homo-phonic spelling. The term card sharp is the lesser-used term for "card shark", but as you'll see when you open the hyperlink is the original one
 |
| This Shar-pei is actually playing cards! |
46-across. Empty cup at Starbucks?: VACANT LATTE. I was torn on this one as one of the cup sizes used at Starbucks is called a Grande.
And that word, too has a "long a" sound at its end. But Grande is
six-letters in length and Zachary only needed five. The term "vacant lot" is the p-o-w connector here. I'd show an image of one but it would be "empty", no? 😉
64-across. Celebration that involves rowdy games of Twister, facetiously?: BODY PAR-TAY. This entry resembles CARD SHAR-PEI as it uses the word par-tay literally. The phrase "body part" connects with the game of Twister as you'll see in the image below:
************
Here is one that I came up with. Perhaps Zachary did, too, and it ended up on the cutting room floor: |
The Grid - just one mistake today for C-Moe |
Across:
1. Spielberg thriller based on a Benchley novel: JAWS. "We're gonna need a bigger boat"
5. Large reference: ATLAS. Have fun clicking on the ATLAS
10. Pal: CHUM. Another way of cluing this would be to refer chum as a way to attract "Jaws".
14. Snack sometimes referred to as a sandwich: OREO. How do YOU eat an Oreo? I separate the two cookies and scrape the filling off with my teeth
15. Bounded: LEAPT.
16. Mata __: HARI.
19. Homemade website?: ETSY.
20. Peaceful greetings: SALAAMS. Moe-ku #1:
21. Wide body: SEA. Where "Jaws" lives
23. Father's hermana: TIA. Spanglish? Shouldn't this clue be "Padre's hermana"?
24. Sultanate on Borneo: BRUNEI. Is this pronounced Broon AY or Broon Eye?
26. Keeping in the loop: CCING. This is also how we keep our blog-mistress, Zhoquin Burnikel "in the loop" - Moe-ku #2:
28. Loan fig.: APR. This kind of fitting, in a way. Some of us may need a loan in Apr. when it's tax time. The IRS offers these with a low Annual Percentage Rate for taxpayers who can't pony up the full amount owed
33. Smelling a rat, so to speak: LEERY. Moe-ku #3:
35. Nursery refrain: E-I-E-I-O. Old MacDonald's line
36. Slowly go dark: FADE.
39. Members of Gil Grissom's team, briefly: CSIS. Short for Crime Scene Investigators. I'm not a big fan of this entry; the clue was difficult enough for those who did not know that Gil Grissom was the night shift supervisor on the CBS hit series, CSI ... it also pluralizes an abbreviation
43. Bygone airline whose first flight was from Key West to Havana: PAN AM. Read all about it here
45. Whisky name: DEWAR. CSO to Irish Miss who likes her Dewar's on the rocks 🥃
51. Moody genre: EMO. Moe-ku #4:
52. Daisy variety: OX-EYE. Also known as, Leucanthemum vulgare
53. "The Secret of Monkey Island" figure: PIRATE. This answer would have come to me if I knew what "The Secret of Monkey Island" is. Apparently it's a video game ... not a clue for us "Boomers"
55. Tinkering inits.: DIY. Good Friday clue
56. Captured: WON. As in the game of chess; I captured the King and I won
59. Helped a cause, say: DONATED. I usually look at organizations that use at least 90% of the monies donated (to the actual cause or cure) before I do so
62. Caffeine-rich nut: KOLA. I prefer the caffeine-rich berry, also known as coffee
66. Old Testament book: AMOS. RUTH also fits
67. Trial site: VENUE. Never heard a courtroom called a "venue", but whatever
68. Chapeau spot: TETE. Today's Frawnch clue/entry. We already had Spanglish
69. 403(b) IDs: SSNS.
70. Is really good, songwise: SLAPS. Had to go to Urban Dictionary to find this
71. Cheek: SASS.
Down:
1. __ stick: incense: JOSS. Joss stick or incense stick is a substance burned for fragrant scent
2. Floor plan measure: AREA.
3. Brought up with excellent manners, say: WELL BRED. Moe-ku #5:
4. To this point: SO FAR. AS YET also fits
5. Figure at a reunion dinner: ALUMNA. You'll notice her wearing a dress, skirt, or pants suit, perhaps
6. More succinct: TERSER. Not an attribute of C-Moe's blog, usually, as they often contain run-on sentences, hyperlinks, YouTube videos, random images, cartoons, and Moe-ku's
7. Head, to a Brit: LAV. LOO also fits
8. Big lugs: APES. Moe-ku #6:
9. Lid affliction: STYE.
10. "Evita" narrator: CHE.
11. Genteel gesture: HAT TIP. Moe-ku #7:
12. Bearish: URSINE. This almost became a Major problem for me, but ended up being quite Minor
13. "The Karate Kid" mentor: MIYAGI. I literally forgot the name. Was it Miyaga? Miyago? Miyagu? Perps to the rescue
18. Showing a bit of cheek: SAUCY. I once showed a bit of cheek at a nude beach. I wasn't called "saucy"; it was almost, Gross
22. Palm berry: ACAI. I wonder if the Palm BlackBerry phone ever considered calling itself an acai?
25. Aid for brainstorming: IDEA MAP. Moe's informational video
27. "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" singer: CROCE. A Barbershop Quartet cover:
28. ET from the planet Melmac: ALF.
29. Pod filler: PEA.
31. City-building game franchise: SIM.
32. Bit of a giggle: HEE. I tried "TEE" first, to no delight of this solver
34. Fulfill a debt: REPAY.
37. Little pest: ANT.
38. 128 oz.: GAL.
40. Southern pitcherful: SWEET TEA. I could've sworn I had this entry once before, recently. As I said then, and will say now, I am not a big fan
41. "Can confirm": I AM. "Sam" confirms this, often
42. "Sold out" sign: SRO. Standing Room, Only
44. Once again: ANEW.
45. Carter of country: DEANA. She could've gotten a wax, instead ... shaving her legs is never mentioned, interestingly
46. Bar shelf assortment: VODKAS. Among all of the alcoholic beverages, vodkas are my least favorite, though they are OK in a Bloody Mary
47. Old saws: AXIOMS. Moe-ku #8:
48. Sri Lanka, once: CEYLON. Here is a little bit of its history
49. Get ready for guests, perhaps: TIDY UP. Where I grew up we called it "Ret(ting) up"
50. Familiar devices: TROPES. The dictionary definition
54. Bakery treats: TARTS. ROLLS fit, but they aren't what I would call a "treat"
57. "Well, duh!" shorthand: OBVS. Another dictionary definition
58. Holiday time: NOEL. Just passed. Hope everyone had a joyous Noel
60. Grub: EATS. I'm glad that the ride-share company didn't call this service, "Uber Grubs"
61. Highlights, e.g.: DYES. As in adding highlights to ones coif
 |
| Achieved with a hair DYE |
65. Cheek swab molecule: DNA.
40 comments:
There were a few obscurities, but not as bad as yesterday, I thought. (However, is there any answer as bogus as “Ovbs”?) Anyway, FiR, so I’m happy.
With fill such as JOSS, MYAGI, and SALAAMS, this puzzle was definitely Friday worthy IMO. FIR but it took me 31:06, had to change Tio to TIA (thinking hermana meant brother and not sister, but I bet Lucina knew). Adages quickly became AXIOMS. Also had to correct obvi to OBVS. First glance at the Grissom clue I thought it read Gus and not Gil so I was looking at a NASA reference, not. I got DEANA by perps, then remembered her song “Strawberry Wine” from 20 years or so ago. I liked the theme, seems half borrowed from pig Latin with the long A sound at the end. Thank you Zach for the morning challenge. C-Moe ~ a most entertaining recap today, a string of 8 Moe-kus in a single blog! Laughed at “almost, Gross”. Thanks for the grins.
Good morning!
Texas almost did me in this morning: TIDIES, OBVI, and ADAGES were all wrong. It turned into a Wite-Out wonderland. It finally fell together, avoiding a second embarrassing DNF this week. Thanx, ZDL and C-Moe. (I saw what you did at 18D.)
PAN AM: In the '80s I racked up lots of Pan Am miles making frequent trips to offshore awl patch facilities in Norway, The Netherlands, India, Singapore, Indonesia, and occasionally the Middle East. I don't miss it.
FIW, mispeling MaYoGI. Ten erasures, including AMOS, which was steted.
CSO to CC @ CCING.
I knew mind MAP, but not IDEA MAP.
June is the Carter of country.
We used to go to our friend's home in Dallas every Thanksgiving afternoon for a Cowboys TV watch party. They always had a good Russian VODKA that they served in vials that looked like test tubes (so they couldn't be sat down.) VODKA and vials were kept in a freezer until served. Very good.
Of course, I noticed SASS and ASS. I too was on Gross's wavelength, noting that "thong" would fit the clue "cheek," except that "thong" has an extra letter.
Thanks to ZDL for the Friday challenge. And thanks to our Chairman for another punny review.
FIW. Laid down obvi instead of obvs, and had no idea about slaps. Still don't!
This was a typical Friday puzzle with the expected degree of difficulty. The theme was clever and I got it fairly early on. The one proper name, Miyaga, I got from perps.
But overall, despite being quite hard, I enjoyed this puzzle.
Took 10:14 today for me to say, "hooray."
Salaams, obvs, Joss, Ms. Carter, and Gil somebody were all unknown to this solver.
"Ceylon" seemed right. "Iam" seemed wrong.
Having "S__CY", I really wanted "spicy" where "saucy" belonged.
I liked the theme. I had two careless spelling errors which should have been OBVS. Duh. BTW, I think we have had OBVS before.
Hat tip seems old hat, I haven't seen it in real life since before I went to college.
MIYAGI ,CSIS and PIRATE were unknown. Perps and wags helped. They made sense.
Moe, I agree about donations. Some so called charities spend 90% on overhead and ads.
We called tidying redding up.
I remember joss sticks from the 1980s.
Sweat tea? I'd rather have ice water. I like both iced and hot tea barefoot or with just a dash of lemon.
I eat my Oreo cookie with filling and cookie part in each bite. They taste great together. My dad would eat the cake part of layer cake first and save all the icing until last.
I have received quite a few compliments on the gray streaks in my hair. I am told they look like highlights.
Good Morning:
This is the second recent puzzle that has required a trip to the blog for an explanation of the theme which I sort of, but not fully, understood. Kudos to Moe for his detailed and definitive explication and examples of the word play. I had a few stumbling blocks of unknowns, i.e., Deana, Idea Map, and Pirate, as clued. Some of the cluing and fill was off my radar, to wit, Obvs, Slaps, Venue, as clued, and the clunky plurals of CSIs and Vodkas.
Thanks ZDL, and thanks, Moe, for a great explanation and a fair and honest critique. You outdid yourself on the delightful Moe-kus, much to our delight. Thanks for the CSO.
Have a great day.
Chairman Moe,
I recall your kindly offering to assist any fellow Cornerites who might be interested in collaborating on constructing a crossword puzzle. Well, son Jim (Arizona Jim) and I are so interested. We would be appreciative of your guidance and experience!
You can reach me at:
kenbuxton11@gmail.com; and Jim at:
jamesbuxton1@yahoo.com.
Thank you, Moe!
Friday puzzle. Not my kinda game…..where’s the Tranfer Portal??
Greet the day.
Today's puzzle by Zachary was nicely constructed, and enjoyable in the solve. He demonstrated the versatility of the English language through so many different spellings of the long A sound: EY, plain old E, AY, and as C-Moe pointed out, Zachary could have added EH as in CanadianEh! I could add one more, although this one crosses into the French language: add a T to Moe, and you've got Moet, as in Moet et Chandon champagne.
My nitpicks in the puzzle would include the inclusion of several overused friends like ACAI and OREO, and AXIOMS being the answer to "Old saws." As a math teacher I would prefer that "axiom" be confined to the world of postulates and premises. And I feel that there are so many better answers for "old saw," such as maxim or adage or saying.
Nonetheless, overall I applaud Zachary for his enjoyable challenge today, replete with clever touches and wonderful misdirections.
Since I no longer teach math, I think of axiom in a different context, most of the time.
Merriam Webster: "an idea or statement put forth and accepted as true by many people
The retired judge recounted the old legal axiom which states that justice and law are not always the same."
It is axiomatic that what ever can go wrong will go wrong.
In my experience once something goes wrong and I make a mistake, other mistakes will quickly follow.
Tee b/4 hee, (wait a sec, isn't tee always before hee?)
You crossword puzzlers may be interested in a game daughter #3 gave me for Xmas. It's called Q-Less, because it contains all the letters except "Q".
Kind of like scrabble, but easily carries in a pocket, and very addicting.
here is a one minute sample gameplay.
Or, if you prefer, you can play a game dad style...
Fabulous Friday. Thanks for the fun, Zachary and CMoe (EMO was my favourite Moe-ku today!).
I’m not familiar with PARTAY (how is it different from Party?)
Thanks for the Eh CSO. I found an Easter Egg to the theme. My clue is “Gather wheat in Canada” (see 34D and groan).
Actually a FIW since I had COLA and missed seeing that VODKA needed the K.
Hand up for OBVi before S.
Adages changed to Idioms before AXIOMS perped properly. Same with Loo to LAV, and Tee to HEE (latter bit of giggle)
I thought of Wane before FADE, and Shasta before OX EYE fit the spot.
I liked the Cheeky trio of SAUCY, SASS and DNA.
This Canadian had to work for GAL. There are 153.7 US oz in a British Imperial GAL. Metric is so much easier to calculate.
You may remember this Canadian’s SWEET TEA story. I won’t bore you with it again, but I am still waiting for a proper cup of hot tea in a US restaurant.
Wishing you all a great day.
I enjoyed this puzzle, even after FIW at the junction of OBVS/SLAP. (I chose unwisely!) And really needed the Chairman's explanation to clarify the theme. I thought most of the cluing was pretty clever, and mostly on my wavelength. Hmm...I wonder if they'll ever come out with an ACAI flavored OREO? Seems like it would be a natural!
Th “facetious” pronunciation would be par-TAY, accent on the TAY.
FIR and enjoyed it. After the first two long answers were completed, the "long A" theme helped solve the next two.
Re: 67 Across, Trial site: one often reads about a change of VENUE for a trial when there is too much publicity about a case in the local jurisdiction, or other factors that might prejudice the outcome.
Like our Chairman, I think of VODKAS as the dregs of the alcoholic beverage world. OBVS we have not enjoyed the exquisite elixir that Jinx had.
Musings
-I could not let go of OBVI and still don’t get SLAPS which had unfair cluing for that common cell. We’ll never know if the constructor or the editor had that entry.
-DEANA was obscure but came with a lot of help and there is no more famous person with that name
-Theme was fun and ATHLETIC TAIPEI would have been a great addition
-John DEWAR was the famous whisky distiller. We physics peeps know James DEWAR invented this flask for storing very cold liquids. They were contemporary Scots but not related.
-The NCAA FB division 1 championship will not be WON by teams they ranked #1, #2, #3 or #5 out of 12 teams
-Golfers don’t TIP their HATs to acknowledge applause, they just touch the brim.
-Does it even matter that we will ever REPAY our “national debt”?
-TV has many TROPES. One of them is that a precocious child is smarter than his elders
-NOEL displays and songs can include “where ox and ASS are feeding”
TIA is feminine and TIO is masculine. With some exceptions, the A=feminine and O=masculine applies in Spanish.
Wite-Out Wonderland sounds like a great idea for a Corner-centric song parody. I'll see what I can concoct.
Tehachapi Ken @ 8:45 => check your email. I sent one to you and Jim just a few minutes ago. It would be my pleasure to assist you with your puzzle idea! Thanks!
Hola!
Yes, Yooper Phil, I knew TIA and I had several in my life. Sadly, they are, of course, now all gone. I loved them all and they were significant in my growing up years.
CHUM, for some reason, brings to mind Liza Minelli in, I believe, Cabaret, where she sings and repeats, CHUM.
I loved watching CSI and yes, Gus Grissom was one of my favorites. I really miss good shows like that.
I can do without OBVS.
DEANA Carter is unknown to me and I had to guess. Thank you, perps.
SWEET TEA and TARTS sounds like a good afternoon snack!
I'm not sure if I've ever tasted VODKA. On a trip to the U.K. my friend and I went on a short cruise on the Thames and sipped something alcoholic but i don't recall what it was. Cognac, maybe?
Have a fabulous Friday, everyone! Time to get my nails done.
It wasn’t quite OBVi how to deal with the Natick in South Texas, but the logic of the unknown reference to SLAPS made it OBVS.
There are many clearer definitions of SLAPS, VENUE, and PIRATE, and Zachary is perfectly capable of constructing a challenging puzzle without resorting to vague clues. I also wasn’t nuts about the relegation of LAV (instead of loo) to Britspeak. LAV is also widely used in the Western Hemisphere. And Gil Grissom told me nothing.
I’ve said before, entries like TIDY UP ( or almost anything-UP) irk me. “Serve UP” something else. And I find TERSER worser than “more terse.” I would write around comparisons involving brevity.
Still, the theme was intriguing, and cheers for CARD SHARP instead of shark. I might have quibbled with the PARTAY part, but because that entry was the fourth of four, it was OK.
BRUNEI, DEWAR, CROCE, MIYAGI, and CEYLON all were welcome proper names, but I needed perps for DEANA. And I love the noun version of EATS.
HG @ 11:47 => Regarding the NCAA FB Championship ... while they don't have the top 4 seeds remaining, they certainly have four of the largest fan base teams alive, so it shapes up to be one of the highest attended "final fours" for sure. TV ad revenues will benefit; stadium concessions will benefit; and sports bars will benefit. In this day and age of NIL and player salaries, you reap what you sow
Speaking of Final Fours, it was sad for us both that the Panthers and Cornhuskers did not meet in the Championship Game in women's VB. I have become a big fan of the sport as my alma mater's program has become relevant under Dan Fisher. These girls are good!!
Thanks for the "HAT TIP" on "ATHLETIC TAIPEI"! I had fun trying to come up with another example of what ZDL created
DNF I look forward to the end of week puzzles for the the challenge, but today's taught me to be careful what I wish for.
Twister was originally decried as "Sex in a Box", which only helped sales, of course. But it took a marking genius at Milton Bradley to get Johnny Carson to play it on stage with Eva Gabor, unleashing a craze that sold 40,000 games a day.
Copy Editor @ 11:59 => as an editor yourself, I can "get" why certain words and/or phrases irk you. As a constructor, though, it is sometimes difficult to avoid using a few when the puzzle's theme and entries need to find a home in the grid. There are very few puzzles that are published in a non-symmetric form. As I mentioned in another puzzle recap, the combination of certain length words (as the entries) will yield more 3-letter words, for example. And we all know how awful it seems when many of those TLW are abbreviated. Point is, it ain't easy! The constructors who make it look seamless are few and far between ...
As for the clues for SLAPS, VENUE, and PIRATE ... I know that when I am "told" by the editor that my puzzle will run on a Friday (or Thursday), I look for more obscure clues. That is what most editors want. And many editors change the clues without our (constructor's) consent as they may have these same entries appear in other recently published puzzles
BTW, I can't wait to see your "Wite-Out Wonderland" rendition. That's an easy song to parody!
For all “One L’s” out there, the VENUE is the *location* of the courtroom where the trial is held, not the courtroom itself.
Thank you!
Neat Friday puzzle, many thanks, Zachary. And always appreciate your commentary, Moe, thanks for that too.
Well, it looked as though we had a party going on in this puzzle, attended by ALUMNA and some WELL-BRED guys ready to offer a HAT TIP and ready to join an A GAME on the VENUE. All the guests were offered OREO snacks as soon as they arrived, along with some SWEET TEA and some LATTE and other EATS. Not a bad party all around, I'd say.
Have a sunny, and healthy and happy weekend, everybody.
Creative puzzle , especially with all the different spelling for the "ay" sound
At first I saw the Grissom clue and thought of Gus instead of Gil - so I tried putting in NASA but had to change to CSIs when the perps weren't falling into place
I mostly have heard of VENUE with courtroom when a particular has to have a change of VENUE - thinking that a person won't get a fair trial in some of the less populated counties given everyone's predetermined opinion, so it gets moved
Thanks to CM and Zachary for a fun day
Very tough CW, more than most Fridays. 16 names, only 3 DNKs, but a lot of other fill that I never heard of, like SLAPS, IDEAMAP, and several more. I too read Gus Grissom and thought of NASA. CSIS was all perps, and I had no clue what it stood for, or why Gus Grissom was involved. I was very pleased to be able to FIR, although it was a 25 minute slog. DYES reminded me that for a few years when I did some sailing I sported a pony tail, and was surprised when the distal half sun-bleached blond. My hair was salt-and-pepper at the time. Anyway, thanx ZDL for this very challenging CW. I hated a few of the clues including the oft mentioned OBVS and SLAP, among others. One fill, DONATED, reminds me: so many TV ads want you to contribute $19/mo. This must be the dollar amount the fundraising company figures people will not consider excessive. Anyway, one such charity I looked up and discovered this: of the money you donated to that particular charity 85% (!!!) went to the fundraising organization. Most of the remainder went to pay the salary of the charity's CEO. The amount that actually got spent on the recipients of this charity? 2% (!!). So...be careful when you decide to be generous. Thanx to C.Moe for the excellent write-up, explanations and MoeKus. Could not come up with a Namie today. They are difficult!!
Nina, You make me so proud by first thinking of NASA!
Name? Perhaps Mr. and Mrs. Balz should not name their son Richard?
Good recap Moe. Puzzle was fine. I never heard of "slaps" for music or otherwise. "Obvs" kinda left me cold. Good Friday challenge.
There are a lot of great charities out there. One, Tunnels to Towers, spends $5 on fundraising for every $100 raised. CEO Frank Siller's salary is $0 per year. Their original purpose was to provide support the families of first responders lost as a result of the 911 terrorist attacks. The program has expanded to pay off the mortgages of the families of first responders killed in action. They also fund accessibility modification for the houses of disabled vets, and are creating housing for homeless veterans. Other than those things, they don't do much.
(The organization is named for Stephen Siller, the CEO's brother. He was an off-duty fireman at the time of the 911 attacks. The tunnels were already closed to automotive traffic, so he ran through a tunnel to the scene of the tragedy while wearing all his firefighting gear, and died trying to get people out of the towers.)
🤣👍🏽 ====> Darren
Nice construct, this one; I kinda got the gist of the theme after solving CARDSHARPEI, but until I got AGAME, the “A” sound play evaded me. Duh! (or must I say OBVS today?? 🤮). Other’n’that, I enjoyed this one; nice job, Zach!
So many Carters in the country music milieu — June, Maybelle and Sara et al of the family, and here DEANE. I’m sure there are more I don’t know. As for WON to mean “Capture”, meh; and I AM for “Can confirm”… (concept zooming over head).
And of course, the Chairman’s recap followed its customary great form, complete with Mo-Ku’s and other dry wit (I had all kinds of fun extrapolating on the APE nuts gag 🤣). Keep ‘em comin’, Mo!
====> Darren / L.A.
Thanks to ZDL for the Friday challenge! FAV themer was VACANT LATTE.
I've been to Borneo but not to BRUNEI. "Kota Kinebalu" is fun to say.
If you clicked on C-Moe's link for SLAPS you saw, "You got any mac dre SLAPS?" It's a good reminder how varied our world is....
C-Echo@10:58. I love your ACAI-flavored OREO idea! Perhaps a PEA-flavored OREO for the savory course?
Thanks to C-Moe for his tour and additional notes in the comments section. I enjoyed all the Moe-kus...but what else is ANEW?
Channel 9 slaps, no cap!
Per google:
Who does the US owe debt to?
Public debt, which accounts for roughly 80% of the total, is owed to investors. Those investors include foreign governments, mutual funds, pension funds, and individuals among others. The Federal Reserve owns part of this public debt. Intragovernmental debt accounts for the other 20%.
