Ah. So this type of clue would only be one of many different type in the crossword. I see. I love crosswords, but I'd probably groan a little when I got that type of clue and saw the answer.

As there are three letters in the answer, "CCL" works...

Also, it may be old hat to all you crossword fans out there, but this thread called to mind the 5x5 grid with no blacked out squares.

This was great! I'd never seen this form before!

"Bottomless pit" for pi is especially good considering that pi is an irrational number with a non-repeating decimal.
