ANSWERS: Mixed Doubles 3

My 100th puzzle is tomorrow! 

...Oh yeah, I posted a "Mixed Doubles" puzzle not too long ago. I should probably put the people who have solved that one here:
  • Lynn Sweeney ****
  • Eric Maddy ****
  • Grant Fikes ****
  • Chris Hendricks ****
  • Sam Levitin ****
  • YYW ****
  • Giovanni Pagano ****
  • Mom ****
  • Debbie Benford ****
Now just click on "Read more" below for the answers!


And here are all the correct number combinations:

ACROSS: 1/15, 2/19, 3/11, 4/21, 5/7, 7/5, 8/9, 9/8, 10/13, 11/3, 12/20, 13/10, 14/17, 15/1, 16/18, 17/14, 18/16, 19/2, 20/12, 21/4

DOWN: 1/17, 2/20, 3/10, 4/15, 5/23, 6/9, 7/19, 8/16, 9/6, 10/3, 11/22, 12/18, 14/21, 15/4, 16/8, 17/1, 18/12, 19/7, 20/2, 21/14, 22/11, 23/5

The two leftover clues are 6-Across and 13-Down, and the answer to those clues (which you can get by scrambling the letters in the pink squares) is CHECKERED: this puzzle's FINAL ANSWER!


Solver Giovanni Pagano said "I found the extra clues a bit early, but I solved the rest with no lookups. After I was checking out the APOCALYPSE clue, I learned that if you replaced "film" with "video game", you could get another conceivable answer (ARMAGEDDON). What is it with the late 90s and the end of the world?" [The Y2K bug and the numerically significant transition from 1999 to 2000, perhaps?]
