ReplyDeleteClear weather expected tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHow many more, Colonel? I miss my daily dose of CW ;-(
ReplyDeleteToday's must be the caboose, Gita.
ReplyDeleteGita,
ReplyDeleteKishore has given the weather forecast for tomorrow.
Awesome! Sunny, and no ambiguity! Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteMidday is 'A' today and noon was 'M' the other day!! By logic,A=M !!
ReplyDeletewhat is the clue to get "esc"
ReplyDelete1 - Protected the key letters of a plan to read out at midday (8) - {ESC}{ORTEDa*}
key letter-Esc on a computer keyboard
ReplyDeleteFor those interested, Lloyd's Aha puzzles are up at:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.ahapuzzles.com/contest.htm
Any guesses on the anno for 3D - FIESTA?
ReplyDeleteFirst-class party has no sign of revellers in front
ReplyDeleteMy take (though I do not appreciate it myself !)
First class=fairest
no sign of=deletion indicator
revellers in front = r
No anagrind.
def=party=fiesta
@Kishore: Checked the AHA puzzles site. Congrats! Hope you win the prize this month :)
ReplyDeleteSandy, I usually get all korrect as I have this month too, but not the prize. ;-) Thanks for your wishes.
ReplyDeleteMany times I am the first to qualify (not yesterday, I was the 4th), but Lloyd's hat seems to have a strange fascination for retaining the slip with my name.
ReplyDeleteBTW, for the record, my today's opening post is the shortest in nearly an year.
ReplyDeleteKishore-I hope it is so including future as well !
ReplyDeleteDid not do yesterday's 'puzzle'
ReplyDeleteMy take for 3 down
First-class party has no sign of revellers in front (6) - FIESTA Anno pending
Fi(-v)e Sta(-r)
First-Class - Five Star!
no - deletion indicator
v - sign
r - revellers in front
Bravo, Ajeesh. You seem to have hammered the tack on its top.
ReplyDeleteWonder if AJ can tell us which anno was in NJ's mind.
