As for...Some 'Unforced' Jai for Bharatmata!<br />As for CV's question on loyalty, it is just some order. Of course we can do any one of Guardian quick or cryptic. When you get the day's paper you have an itch to do the CW. Only I found it easier to do it this way than on paper. I have been doing like this for a long time and find it easy. No occasion to talk about it. Probably we have to thank Prasad for starting it today.Padmanabhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278629397479779173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-87591734621233820682016-04-15T19:06:48.716+05:302016-04-15T19:06:48.716+05:30Col. has not said yes or no for the presumption- c...Col. has not said yes or no for the presumption- cleverly side stepped the issue.Padmanabhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278629397479779173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-79001817678797336342016-04-15T18:39:43.250+05:302016-04-15T18:39:43.250+05:30Yes but I'd rather not be a one track ponyYes but I'd rather not be a one track ponyBhalchandra Pasupathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11499336354527916373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-34373789225124680792016-04-15T18:29:10.554+05:302016-04-15T18:29:10.554+05:30As my esteemed friend, HRH Hurree Jamset Ramsingh ...As my esteemed friend, HRH Hurree Jamset Ramsingh would say, "The presumptuousness of the posters is terrific "Kishorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398234335975124266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-33433913855522540942016-04-15T18:24:25.390+05:302016-04-15T18:24:25.390+05:30Indeed!Indeed!Kishorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398234335975124266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-56441604670266451702016-04-15T18:18:13.459+05:302016-04-15T18:18:13.459+05:30Uncertain about Paul but rufus sets good puzzlesUncertain about Paul but rufus sets good puzzlesMahesh Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953994039926080582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-78979503802832597752016-04-15T17:44:41.781+05:302016-04-15T17:44:41.781+05:30Why is everyone presuming Sadhya is Sandhya?Why is everyone presuming Sadhya is Sandhya?Col_Gopinathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166793743790376031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-46051725345680670072016-04-15T16:21:17.578+05:302016-04-15T16:21:17.578+05:30Shall try your method too, Sir.

But we can go to Guardian site, put in one of the clues which will lead us to the particular CW ( or one mus follow the serial no. like Col. does for Sunday Cryptic) Thankfully, it comes serially all right. It is easier to solve there than on paper. We can even get the answe for some of the weird clues.Padmanabhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278629397479779173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-36613540670776307222016-04-15T15:30:33.495+05:302016-04-15T15:30:33.495+05:30Just checked up- German for a partrooper- down to ...Just checked up- German for a partrooper- down to earth!!

I didn't find the answer but if I remember right the clue was printed merely as 23 - I rose from the computer chair and took the trouble of finding the old issue - yes, it is prinited as 23. There was no superscript. In which case we just can't get the answer EIGHT. <br />BTW, the Guardian Quick crossword as printed in TH does not hold any more charm to me as the papers eeems to have reduced the type size and I can't read the clues easily.Chaturvasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00284780490945841507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-43661800350457639612016-04-15T15:22:48.315+05:302016-04-15T15:22:48.315+05:30Just checked up- the print edition shows it as 23-...Just checked up- the print edition shows it as 23- obviously unable (?) to print 2 cubed!
