I got it right too, although I wasn't sure of a couple of words when I submitted it. This was perhaps the toughest of all the IXL puzzles I have done across the years - including the ones used for the finals!
DeleteNice to see you after a long time here.
DeleteNice to know you got it all right too.
Congrats indeed! A few of my colleagues Ashit, Mukund and Jyotsna have got all correct as well.

DeleteRamesh was a prolific commenter once here..with his ABCD clues(a bonus clue of the day)...now he hardly comments..except for the Saturday blog.
Request him to come here often.

ReplyDeleteCongrats to Ramki for topping the leaderboard once again!

DeleteTo spell you out correctly Sreeram from Rajamundry
DeleteSo lots of names Prasad as most of us call you, sree_sree as you appear, Sreeram as you appear.
DeleteWhat art thou?
i already gave full introduction.
Deletekatakam sreerama chandra vara prasad preferred name sreeram. col like formal name so Prasad here.
Phew:-)
DeleteCongrats to all those who completed correctly. I fell short by two mistakes; more by negligence to revise before sending due to sheer mental fatigue for three hours + . Lesson learnt. We should all revisit and recheck clue by clue before hitting SUBMIT ! The IXL appears to have raised the bar but I should also add , the cluing is getting trickier and trickier !
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all
