Would someone be willing to explain the answer to 18d. "Bigamy" in response to "Times has wise guys rounded up for crime" I just don't see the reasoning/logic that leads to the solution. Many thanks!

Wise men are MAGI, reversed in BY

The magi are "wise guys", backwards in "by" - not sure what indicates the "by" though

BY about MAGI - reversed

B igam y

Ah - "by" as in "times", meaning "multiplied by"

A thousand "thank yous". It now looks obvious but I don't think I'd have got there any time soon.
