Guardian Genius - Last Two
17 Answers
Please note there are extra instructions for this crossword. 12 are special answers, but these two I am struggling with are not these special ones, they are just ordinary answers. However EVERY clue also has one word that is "superfluous"
5d. A politician, awfully rude, exits Spain a lost soul (3,6) A _ E / _ E _ D _ E
(I have worked out from solving the rest of the crossword, that the superfluous word is "EXITS")
Therefore the clue really reads
A politician, awfully rude, Spain a lost soul (3,6)
A lost soul = perdue which = an anagram of rude + E(spana + P at the beginning
Is there a phrase Ade Perdue, Ame Perdue, Are Perdue etc etc which will give the politician (REP, DEM, MEP etc) at the front
Or am I completely off track?
7d. Apostasies increase scores over time (8). R _ T _I _ G _
(the superfluous word is "increase").
Many thanks
Therefore the clue reads
Apostasies scores over time (8). R _ T _ I _ G _
......ends in "age" ???
