I am surprised and disappointed that anyone should try to cheat in this prize puzzle. Anyone caught asking for help will be barred from this and all future competitions.

[Matakari]

Thanks to all for the help with this new crossword! It's not as straightforward as what I am accustomed to!

[Matakari]

Bigdave44, it's not a matter of cheating, asking for help for a few when one is not sure! It's not to say that one is asking for all the answers! Sometimes, one may ask for a hint, or an answer. Perhaps, the crossword should carry an explicit note against appealing for help of any kind?
