Dt 29,013

[BabsM]

1A Working spell without delay (2, 4)
1D Best or worst? (8)

I have "on time" and "overcome". When I submit the puzzle, it says that those two are incorrect - all the rest are OK.

Am I missing something here or is it something to do with the date...?

1a. on time

[dannyk13]

On time
Overcome

[mac44]

1d. overcome

[BabsM]

Yes - that's what I've got but DT says No...

[dannyk13]

Can't understand why it won't accept your entry.Mine went through with those two answers.

[BabsM]

Well quite so, Danny. Maybe I'll leave it till after 1200 to see if I've been April Fooled...!

[dannyk13]

Can't see it being that Babs,The checking is done automatically.I wold try again at 9am and if it is the same give them a ring on

Have you accidentally typed a zero instead of the letter “O” as the first character ?

[BabsM]

Yay! I retyped both answers, tried again and it went through. The original answers were definitely correct - I checked and double checked.

Very odd... Mind you, the DT does have form - I noticed that I managed to do one of last week's cryptics in 00.00.01 mins...

[dannyk13]

Glad you're sorted Babs. As you strange things happen, especially since they 'improved' the site.

[dannyk13]

^say^

[flyingdancer]

00.00.01 Definitely worth a medal !

[BabsM]

Thank you, Flyingdancer - it's definitely an improvement on one of my previous records when the DT was having one of its meltdowns on timings. I think it was just over 48 years...!

Re 0 v O - don't think so but you may well be right...
