This Famous Scientists crossword puzzle took a long time to make because of all the names that I managed to squeeze
into the matrix. The way this one works is the person's first initial and completely spelled-out last name, indicated
by (FI+LN) in the clue, is used as the answer. For instance, filter transfer function developer Stephen Butterworth
would be written as SBUTTERWORTH. There are at least sixteen names here There are at least sixteen names here with
which you should be familiar. Good luck!
