15A Look up Taw and you will get 'to shoot a marble'. Just change the link and the ? will disappear.
ReplyDeleteHide out = Lie low, so hideout = lielow : )
ReplyDelete30 seconds = half a minute = MIN ?
Irrespective of how loudly he can cry, it won't become chancery. What kind of an anagram indicator is loudly ?
Thanks Suresh & Bhavan,
ReplyDeleteNJ has used loud/loudly previously as an AInd
Typical of NJ.
ReplyDeleteNothing more to say. But some nice clues.
Good day
Mathu
Decent crossword, except 11D and perhaps 22D
ReplyDeleteIf you cry loudly enough maybe you can break it to pieces, Bhavan?:))
ReplyDeletea la Baiju Bawra
ReplyDeleteCould someone explain 5D? I understand BAR for "Block", but what does electrical current have to do with it?
ReplyDelete'i' is a symbol for electric current. BARI is an Italian port
ReplyDeleteIs this the quietest NJ day in recent times?
ReplyDeleteI think it is a decent offering today from NJ.
ReplyDeleteGot more answers than my usual quota.
I second Dr.S.
ReplyDelete23 - It may be subjective in matter! (13) - COMPREHENSIVE [CD]
ReplyDeleteThe link given by Col leads to COMPREHENSION. The connection is not clear.
When I penned it in, I thought the word as used by NJ refers to Comprehensive (policy) - an insurance policy that provides wide-ranging coverage to the insured person (subject) against unforeseen mishaps.
I request Suresh to clarify.
'Comprehensive' in the context of the UK, refers to a comprehensive school - a state school that does not select its intake on the basis of academic achievement or aptitude.
ReplyDeleteI am lost of COMPREHENSIVE. Venkatesh, the meaning given by you above figured in some earlier crossword. I am not able to trace it.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I did not like today's CW, but I'm not going to crib about the clues, just going to take a short break till a new cycle kicks in
ReplyDeleteComing in rather late. History repeats itself. We drew NJ last year too on this day.
ReplyDelete23a-
ReplyDeleteclue points to comprehension wheras comprehensive fits the grid
Venkatesh & Padmanabhan,
ReplyDeletein the first pass I put in COMPREHENSION and added the link, later I changed it to COMPREHENSIVE and forgot to change the link.
COMPREHENSION or COMPREHENSIVE, I am still unable to follow the clue of being subjective in matter
ReplyDeleteFrom when did MK become the CM of Puducherry? It came as a surprise to see a video spot seeking votes on a TN scheme (on food materials supplied every month) shot in the streets adjoining Pondy's Sri Aurobindo Ashram. It plumbs to abject depth that the party did not consider even one locale in TN appropriate for the shoot. No one can take the perspicacious viewers for granted.
ReplyDeleteFrom WordWeb :
ReplyDeleteCOMPREHENSIVE (n)
An intensive examination testing a student's proficiency in some special field of knowledge
"she took her comprehensives in English literature"
So may be it is a subjective vs objective matter/test
