ReplyDeleteProud to report that when Bangalore University introduced this for the first time as a BE course, my brother Rajesh, was the first one to bag the first rank in the first year.
Nice to the see the Black Adder here. But this prompts a question to CV:
ReplyDeleteIs it kosher in the THC to bring in living persons either in the clue or in the answer or both (as in this case)? We did have V Anand here sometime back.
This is not the first time. Mr Bean has been a regular here.
ReplyDeleteMr Bean it a movie/tv/cartoon character. But my question is about Rowan, Anand et al?
DeleteBy Mr Bean I meant Mr Atkinson
DeleteWhat are we looking for in the puzzle? A cursory glance didn't reveal any theme?
ReplyDeleteI didn't see a theme either other than the sequence ROW / WOR appearing 5 times
ReplyDelete18 - 70 per cent of the term report (7) - EXPRESSION EXPRESSion:
ReplyDeleteAnswer : EXPRESS (by oversight, given as EXPRESSION (though 'ion' is struck of in explantion)
term=expression, a 10 letter word
Delete70% of it= seven letters=express, which is= report
Col has given the answer as expression. that's what Vasu meant I think
DeleteThanks Vasu,
ReplyDeleteI have since corrected it
Can't say I liked today's offering that much...
ReplyDelete6D: Could this be HAIRDRYER also?
'Spray painting atomizer' would lead only to 'Airbrush'
