I'm surprised not to see any posting so far on this one (unless my brain has been fried by too much Eurovision and I just can't see the post). One of the easier EVs I have tackled: probably a good...
That was quite a workout (and my mind needed a bit more exercise after an easy Listener this week). Very fair clues, I thought, and quite a pleasing endgame. I say "quite" rather than "very" because I...
Grid entry only took half an hour, but then I'm ashamed to say that it took another half hour for the penny to drop. It raised a chuckle, so thank you Towser....
What A simple but fun idea, but well executed and a good few smiles raised. And a very full grid of theme stuff in the end. This made for a very enjoyable distraction on a sun. Thank you gaston....
The length of the preamble was a bit off-putting, but taking my courage in both hands and plunging in showed enough fairly straightforward clues to be able to get started. The last step was a bit...
A bit of false advertising on Augeas' part as he suggested this might appeal to me owing to my physics background. Disappointment over, I appreciated the sneaky clue order that once cracked allowed...
A fairly typical Chalicea puzzle: nice use of theme, clues not too challenging (though I struggled for a while to find the extra letters in some of the mid-range down clues). A very pleasant exercise:...
This has produced a giggle but it was a tough solve until the message appeared and we are going to have to be very careful with our checking of our final grid. What an amusing and original idea. Many...
With Shackleton last week and now this puzzle, the Listener is finally picking up pace after a rather slow start to the year. This puzzle is fun. Straightforward fill and a pleasing endgame. Puzzles...
Listener No. 4333 - In the Event of Fire by Flying Tortoise This thread is for the traditional 'elliptical' discussion, comments and thanks to the setter. If you want to participate in a more direct...
Congratulations Augeas on a compilation that would have pleased even Radix in the way it all hung together - theme, title, method of entry. The quotation we were directed to was intriguing and amusing...
Look, I've seen some of the arguments, rudeness and the like emerging in the last two or three weeks. But two threads deleted entirely?! That's just not right. Not least because that basically seems...
Well, those who have been moaning that the early ones were too easy have what they wanted here. This has been a real challenge, growing easier as it progressed, of course. We still have some ends to...
A pleasing puzzle with a neatly worded preamble. It's always pleasing to learn something along the way, so many thanks to eXternal. But we're still waiting for the first tough challenge of the year....
