Nice one from Vulcan! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteCol, any specific reason for coming online early??
+1 to both.
DeleteIt appears that I set the publication time wrongly as 6:30 AM
DeleteWhen did you solve the puzzle?5.00 to 5.30?
DeleteI solved it by around 6:45, but while scheduling the blog I had incorrectly set the time as 6:30, so as soon as I hit the publish button on completion it got published showing the time as 6:30
Delete26a is "with" part of def? If not, is the clue stillbe dd.
ReplyDeleteA community agreement, would be better.
DeleteI didn't understand 11A. Got everything else. Could someone please help explain?
ReplyDeleteI is Iodine which is a Halogen
DeleteIMHO
Delete"I for one" the definition indicates the crossword compiler "VULCAN";
Vulcan is God of fire;
Halogen is a source of heat;
Not correct Kartikeyan.
DeleteI stands for Iodine, which is a Halogen
Thanks Col.
DeleteGroup VIIA, we learnt in chemistry. Chlorine, Iodine, Bromine, Astatine are all halogens.Our factory produces Chlorine obtained by electrolysis of brine(salt solution in water)
Delete5D,6D clues very cleverly worded! Liked them.
ReplyDeleteSmooth sailing today. ABROAD was my favourite. Thanks Vulcan!
