Adam Fromm lives in Providence, R.I. He works
for a pharmaceutical company and moonlights
as a singer-songwriter. This puzzle is a
throwback to his college days when he briefly
majored in math . . . before switching to litera-
ture. He prefers subjects that ‘‘don’t require the
right answer, only a reasonable one.’’ This is his
fifth puzzle for The Times — W.S.
