  2. I did today's yesterday and vice-versa. Yet, Gridman remains the same ! They must get someone from this blog on to the Features section in Hindu. Who better than Gridman ?

  5. No relief for print edition solvers. I did today's CW on paper yesterday itself and I did today's print edition CW last night on line after reading comments in the blog. So an off day today and looking forward to tomorrow's spl.
