Sounds like there's a tunnel at the end of the daylight.

Intuition keeps pointing wrong, doesn't it?

Yet another fascinatingly cute puzzle from Bonanova. Thanks! Hope I can think well enough to see some more of the answer.

Good job! Got to imagine this result bears on the question posed in OP. Edit: aside--was it draw or stud?

I"m presuming Peggy means Margaret, such as Margaret Mitchell, leading to the possibility of Gerald O'Hara losing Tara in a poker game. But I don't remember Tara changing hands via a poker game. In fact, aside from Yankee wartime occupation, it stayed in the family, I think. So, inchoate thoughts again...

If you'd like to go further and make an entire crossword puzzle (a Yoruichi-san enigmatic crossword), you can use the Excel spreadsheet in my CaptainEd Current versions, in my sig. Look for "Enigmatic Crossword", you'll find two different useful spreadsheets.

I don't mean to be picky, but I want to be sure of the numeric goals. In U.S., 10^9 = $1,000,000,000 is one billion, not one trillion (and in U.K. I believe it is one thousand million, not one trillion) In U.S., 10^12 = $1,000,000,000,000 is one trillion. In U.K., I believe, 10^15 = $1,000,000,000,000,000 is one trillion Is the goal for questions 3 and 4 based on 10^9, 10^12, or 10^15?

Never mind, I'll bet it's oryx, at least that's a real word! Tricky durned word, Mum! Good job. If this is right, I need to beg off hosting this time...

looking up the possibilities is itself enlightening gyos (since a "gyo" is a Japanese flower arrangement, it seems fair that an English plural ought to exist) ryos (a medieval Japanese coin--English plural)

Interesting! goys xors (both rather unusual outside of certain circles, very interesting. I'm still looking at the possibility that Y is the vowel...)
