3 down must be sardonyx (a stone), sardo is roads running, NY is US city but what is the X for? Is it like 4x4, which is also read as 4 by 4? I do like to know exactly how the clue fits! Anyway, I've finished this Xword now, so if anyone wants any answers.... Don't know if I shall send it in though, as I was a winner with the December one - not the main winner, nor one of the first four runners-up but one of the next ten who will receive a Bloomsbury dictionary, though I haven't got it yet. If by some strange chance, mine should be first out of the bag this time, do you think they check back on previous winners and reject any who've previously won? Is it worth the price of a stamp? I'd be interested to know if anyone knows what the policy is in general, not just with Saga.

a little time back whitehill, a kind member on this site reminded me that in algebra (and crosswords) x, y and z are used as "unknowns". I don't know what the wording of your clue was but could this be a factor?

Hi Dustybun

The clue was: Stone roads running by under US city

so I think the X must represent by but I wasn't sure how. Always interested in learning more of the conventions used in cryptics

Dustybun

gotcha now whitehill! the x and "by" are both terms indicating multiplication/times. Good on ya!

If this appears twice - my finger slipped!!

I won't add more and spoil it for anyone who stumbles on this by accident, but ask if you need others. I won't be online until Sunday now but I will answer after that.
