ReplyDeleteI think Col's interpretation is correct.
DeleteTemperature dropping- can only be from Hot to Cold.
DeleteSo, it's Scuttle
I to had it as Scuttle but the everyman site is showing it as Shuttle
DeleteOh! Well The setter is the boss

Delete13D- It has to be worm pale only,ignoring's. It cannot disappear in the Spooner version.

DeleteQuiz on Google in Sunday magazine of TH is very interesting. Those who have access may look up.Seems Sept.27th is considered as Google's Birthday.
ReplyDelete12D. Because we know that Everyman is the setter we know that I has to be removed. But how does The Hindu expect all its solvers to know that. Maybe be they should show the name of Everyman on the CW
ReplyDeleteTrue.
DeleteThis is not a vakkalath for TH. But the website edition has the setter's name.It's not the same as what appears in the printed edition - meaning web Everyman is not in sync with print edition. On a Sunday you could solve two Everyman puzzles.
DeleteVakkalath brings me back old memories of my father's legal practice which was done in Tamil,but vakkalath was used freely.It must be of Hindi origin. They used to call a petition as 'Piradhu".
