    2. I usually post my comments through cell phone except on Sundays..i encounter a lot of problems while posting which i believe is because of internet problems..i generally copy the comments so that i dont have to retype.

  4. 11AC: Other than M picked up from central Denmark, ouser can not be annotated.
    So is the case with 22AC.

  5. The original clue is Cat seen in central Denmark on river road. I don't know how it got mixed up. My cimpiler has this but word doc that I sent doesn't.

    Reg 22AC as per Chambers CW Dictionary P=400 , Mark = OST

    1. Reg 22AC, as per Chambers, P = 400000 and not 400.

      OST is defined as below in Chambers:

      Office of Science and Technology
      Original Soundtrack
      I don't know which is to be taken as authentic

  6. Let's say we have set a puzzle in CC. We take a Word doc by copy=pasting all components and keep. Later if we make a change in a clue, then the saved clues need to be copy-pasted in the file that we saved earlier or take a fresh set by Exporting or Copying.
    If we fail to do this there will be discrepancies.

    If we change a clue, OK (clue saved) but fail to Save the file as a whole, again there is likely to be discrepancy.

    I am not suggesting the setter failed to do this; I am only visualising the scenarios.
