Test comment
ReplyDeleteLooks like Mr Sankalak's motto at present is "Keep it simple, silly".
ReplyDeleteDeepak, 21 is not a CD. Reno is a city in Nevada, known for easy divorce and remarriage laws, apart from its gambling casinos.
ReplyDeleteIt is a quick clue.
Vikram,
ReplyDeleteAs I have mentioned earlier I use 'E' only in cases where the clue is purely a definition as found in Dictionaries, e.g., 20A; the rest I classify as 'CD'.
schoolmaster is so well concealed that it is COD for Col.! It took a while to unscramble.
ReplyDeleteChecked and found that both agriculturist & agriculturalist are accepted.I was doubtful while filling up.
