Listener No. 4377: Russian Roulette By Rasputin

A very entertaining and well-constructed puzzle. Hard to believe how much the setter fit into such a small space. One minor quibble. The thematic subject of the puzzle, as described by its Wikipedia...

Listener No. 4375: Five One-Time Pads By Poat

A pleasant unity to the whole puzzle. Clues were not too challenging, but there was plenty in the end-game to keep the interest up. Many thanks, Poat....

Listener No 4374 : A Tester Laid Out By Salamanca

I did enjoy the way the thematic material all slotted together, however I think the obscurity of some of the geographical references was pushing the boundaries of fair play rather. Thanks Salamanca....

Listener 4373 Semirp By Kea

Apologies if there is another thread. Nothing for the "numberphobes" to be scared of. Logical with only a bit of Excel at the start and some spadework at the end. Enjoyable - thanks Kea....

Listener No 4372: Seldom Seen By Piccadilly

Listener Crossword No 4371 -- Our Announcer By Ploy

Well I suppose it's possible that I've gone a little wrong somewhere (made a couple of mistakes in counting in the across clues first time round, for instance), although I don't think that the...

The Listener 4370: Hefbeet By Yorick

I am surprised that there seem to be no other posts, as I am usually quite slow at solving. Anyway, an enjoyable workout from Yorick, although one that required a lot of careful cross-checking.

Listener No 4369: Golf... By Xanthippe

The grid fill was not as hard as I had expected, as spotting the treatment of the holes was a great help. I'm sure I'll have mucked up the last step, however, as i'm in the "good walk ruined" camp....

Listener Crossword No 4368 -- The Name Of The Game By Harribobs

The preamble was enough for an early PDM, although I've not actually played the game properly before. Then it was a relatively speedy gridfill before I nervously attempted the endgame, dreading the...

Listener No 4367: Identity Crisis By Sabre

An excellent challenge from Sabre, and certainly had to use all the available information to make headway on this. Full quotation and author only revealing itself right at the end.

Listener No 4366: Ego-Trips By Llig

Listener No 4365: General Intelligence By Calmac

What a neat grid construction. I found finding the quotation a bit tedious, but the rest of the puzzle was a total delight, with some cleverly concealed misprints. Many thanks, Calmac....

Listener No 4364: Plants By Ottorino

That was fun and, for me, educational. I was stuck for a while on both 30 across and down, but it all finally came together. Some nicely convoluted clues, but all very fair, and no ambiguity in the...

Listener No. 4363: Demolition By Schadenfreude

As ever with Schadenfreude, a great pleasure to solve. I had to backtrack to find a few missing missing letters, though. I wonder whether this was one that was rejected by CAM as too easy (or perhaps...

I'm still a bit uncertain of the misprint for the fifth letter of the name, but have no qualms about the rest. Some nice clues, and a satisfactory endgame. Many thanks, Colleague. Now back to tracing...

Listener 4361 Two For The Price Of One By Monk

Pretty easy grid fill, and an interesting second puzzle. I do quite enjoy puzzles of this second type, but the ones I have seen before tend to be very trivial. This one was a little more challenging....

Listener 4360 What A Turn-Up! By Ioa

Great fun all the way through. Required only elementary number-crunching so numerophobes should not be put off. And a very neat and satisfyingly unambiguous ending, so thanks all round to IOA for a...
