Anyone made a start? I got S=16 ; A= 49 & R=52 but 1down then requires U* - U to = 24 which seems impossible!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Hi everyone, I agree with S=16, R=52, Q=18, D=163, U=46, A= 49. This however results in the following impossibility:
This gives 10 across as 383, 13 across as 929, and 1 across as 6969.
Using these values reflected in the diagonal gives 29 across as 936.
The Clue of 29 across is A + J* + J.
From simple algebra J* + J must be a multiple of 11, but unfortunately 936 - 49 is not a multiple of 11, which is a contradiction / impossibility. I would be interested if anyone else has had the same problem, or can suggest what is wrong here. Many thanks !!
A 49 B 225 C 423 D 163 E 63 F 100 J 691 K 487 L 925 M 982 Q 18 R 52 S 16 U 46 W 148 X 576 Y 652 Z 729
This leaves 5 blank cells on the diagonal: a,b,c,d,e running NE to SW. The sum of the 43 answers is therefore 10028212 + 1001a + 100b + 1000c + 1000d + 11e.
Does anyone have an idea about the theme or any of the helpful hints yet ?
