My first 'big' one. I have been doing a lot of 10x10 as practice. Decided to give this one a go as it was in the front page and 2 difficulty. I enjoyed it a lot.

I was just thinking the other day: I wonder if a rotary telephone would still even work now.

No it wouldn't. Phones use the digital 'bleeps' you hear as you dial. When these old phones were around, the dial generated 'ticks' which were sent to equipment which 'counted' the ticks. There had to be a long enough pause between each number you dialled, hence the grrrrr the dial made as it returned. The zero made 10 ticks - a machine can't count zero ticks!
