I did have fifth amendment as answer which means my 28accross is incorrect. The clue for 28accross is (8 letters) Brilliant, however silly it sounds I had the answer as stupendous?

[factor-fiction]

28 across- are you saying the clue is 'Brilliant'? WHat letters do you have now?

[factor-fiction]

terrific?

[factor-fiction]

(I'm confused though as STUPENDOUS is 10 letters
