exolve-prelude:
<p>
One clue (23a) is missing, but you should be able to find it by reading
between lines.
</p>
<p>
Clues for 1d, 24d, 21d, 19d, 22d, 10d, and 26d have been shuffled
into a table at the start of the Down clues. You can reshuffle them,
and when you get them in the left-to-right order listed here, you will
know it. The total number of possible ways to shuffle seven clues (5040)
might be a bit too high, so, instead of trying randomly, look for hints
to piece together. Also, solving the other clues would help.
</p>
exolve-question: What is the missing clue for 23a? (4,3,1,6) WORK FOR A SUMMER
exolve-question: What is revealed after shuffling the table of clues properly? (one word) ALGEBRA
exolve-question: What are the two ways in which the above revelation happens? (64)* First letters of clues, also Greek labels, in the given order

exolve-explanations:
<p>
<b>Notes</b>
</p>
<p>
This is my first barred grid. The grid-fill was challenging, even with
software (qxw) help!
</p>
The hint in the preamble ("you should be able to find it by reading between
<i>lines</i>") alludes cryptically to the fact that the clue for 23a is a
nina found between separator bars in the grid.
</p>
<p>
When you arrange the clues in the table at the end of the Down clues
correctly in order, their first letters spell the word ALGEBRA (as is
hinted in the instruction, "... look for <i>hints</i> to piece together").
Their greek labels also spell ALGEBRA (Alpha Lambda Gamma Epsilon Beta Rho
Alpha).
</p>
<p>
In addition to MATHEMATICS and ALGEBRA being hidden in the puzzle, the
surfaces of 5a, 38a, 6d, and 34d have themes related to mathematics.
