    3. Deepak Gopinath2 August 2015 at 12:30

      It's not a typo. Your answer NON LICIT is correct but the clue is faulty

      Delete
    4. Nadathur Rajan2 August 2015 at 14:34

      NON-LICET* is right. It means 'not permitted; unlawful'.

      Thanks I stand corrected I thought it was spelt non licit

      Vasant, correct with my answers for 1D & 14D, but unable to give annotations.

    3. Deepak Gopinath2 August 2015 at 11:25

      Zipcode [CD] is correct

      Annotation is incorrect. MALM and flight??

    2. Deepak Gopinath2 August 2015 at 12:25

      It appears the intended anno is

      {A}{MAL<=}{GAM} LAM for Flight and GAM being General Assembly Meeting,

    3. Venkatesh2 August 2015 at 18:24

      LAM = to beat; thrash
      on the lam = running from the police.

    22A: LAOTIANS {L.A>}{OTI(A N)S}

    1D: INTER ALIAS {IN}{T}{ERA}{LIAS<}

    8A: is it NERVOUS SYSTEM (indirect anagram or something?) (Very sorry if wrong)

    1. Deepak Gopinath2 August 2015 at 12:07

      Second half of 1D is incorrect
      8A is not a indirect anagram but something is wrong in the clue

      Delete
    2. Deepak Gopinath2 August 2015 at 12:08

      In 22A the definition is in the middle of the clue

      Delete
    3. Vasant2 August 2015 at 12:13

      I think it is INTER ALIOS with Anno as:
      (IN) (T)(ERA)+(SILO)*

      Delete
    4. Deepak Gopinath2 August 2015 at 12:18

      It is INTER ALIOS, The wording intends SILO to be reversed whereas SILO needs to be anagrammed alternatively it could just have been clued to give (LIOS<=)

      Delete
    5. Vasant2 August 2015 at 12:22

      Is the definition of 4 D also in the middle?

      Delete
    6. Deepak Gopinath2 August 2015 at 12:22

      What I gathered from the clue in 8A is N{S+VOYEURS}*STEM, don't know where N and STEM come from

    Finally managed to complete...a toughie...some very good clues with a few iffy ones...
    Good Ones: 11A, 13A, 15A, 23A.
