Iq 1766

[hankir]

The two clues are jumbled together. The definitions can be anywhere and their wordplays mixed.
Example would be:
Escapes see goat (sent very frisky) streak (5; 5)
To solve, Should read:
Escapes (sent very frisky) see goat streak (5; 5)

Two I need help with:

11/34 To maintain one’s standing, it helps York hotel on right of
Ouse to take up preparing emu with carob (8; 8, 2 words)

10/16 Unable to change rear of pit for new location of organ
tube? Yes – take second of alternatives anyhow (8; 8)

Thanks.

[Gojira]

Difficult this week. I have one of the answers to 11/34. Definition is York and wordplay is anagram of (preparing) emu and carob. Have not sussed out the others you need help with.

[hankir]

Thanks Gojira.
I ignored the anagram as I did not find it in TCD.
For 10/16, anagram of yes, take and L gives eyestalk. But not sure how it fits.

[elliemay1]

An eyestalk is a tube which supports the eye which is an organ?

[ProfessorMaisie]

EYESTALK is right and the other one is thematic - 'cannon' (cannot = 'unable to' and 'change rear of (pi)t for n(ew)'

[ProfessorMaisie]

11/34 the other one has a very long def - 'to maintain one's standing it helps' the wordplay is 'hotel' = INN + 'on right of ousE' + 4 letters for 'bring up'.

[hankir]

Thanks elliemay1 and ProfessorM.
What is the def for Cannon?
I don't know the theme yet but entry for Cannon has to go elsewhere, I think.
I have answer to wig philosopher (18/24) but it does not fit in either.

[ProfessorMaisie]

'tube' is the def for 'cannon', hankir (the other def is just 'location of organ').
You need the partner to 'cannon' for the entry - and the partner to the philosopher/wig answer as the entry (cannon and s... are not entered in the grid, so ''amended'' in the preamble is a bit misleading).
I'm sure you'll know the partner for s... - even in America it's a pretty famous outlet - 'cannon' is part of a British comedy duo and you might struggle with that one.

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorM.

Never had the money to buy at the store in 1a.
I found the partner to Cannon. The only place it can go is 12d. Which means original answer to 12d has a partner.

[ProfessorMaisie]

Not 12d - that's a straight answer (the thematic goes in at 29d - both answers there are thematic).

[ProfessorMaisie]

...as is 8d.

[hankir]

Thanks.
Still trying to solve 8/29.

[ProfessorMaisie]

'bird' and 'risk' are the defs.
GALE = 'mining licence' for the first part.
ART = 'paintings' for the second.

[ProfessorMaisie]

... sorry, swap them around - bird/ART and risk/GALE

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorM.

Also struggling with Listener. Hint on 1d?

[ProfessorMaisie]

The misprint is 'plaNs' - OR = 'before' (archaic) + 6 letters for big 'caddies'/boxes [around] 4 letters for 'fee'/price.
Whenever I see, ''a hint leading to...'' in a preamble, I'm pretty sure the real message is contained in some part of the clues themselves.
If you want to leap ahead with this one maybe take a look...

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorM.
Will have to remember before =or.

[pomona]

4/21 Chief judge and earl arranged transfers of property from Edinburgh from estates , as in escheat (7; 7)
SA????? and ??O?TE? for the grid entries

1/32 Trader (no hard worker) essentially gains ability to acquire posh car (4;4) I have MERC for trader ( no hard worker) posh car...so it's the other half I'm stuck on

14/30 Evergreen army supremo occupying French island audibly hints at independence beginning to accept very hard water? (6 ;6)
C??S??

[ProfessorMaisie]

Just spotted this but if you're still looking -
4/21 the thematic one is 4 letters - anag of 'AND +E(arl)' [its partner goes in at 24a - at 21 you need the partner of one of the 8/29 thematics] the other answer is obscure but is written out in the clue's last words.
For 32 it's a 6 letter synonym for 'gains knowledge' minus first and last letters - def 'acquire' (by merit?).
14/30 'evergreen' + 'very hard water' are the defs, they're both normal answers and for the one you've given the letters for it's -
sounds like ''clues'' + i + a.

[pomona]

Thank you ProfM ...very helpful
