Regarding 13A, I would suggest you to take a deeper look before commenting. You should have properly seen whether SIREN would at all give rinse on cycling.
I got it after a long struggle,but still could not parse it. Thank you. But I still have got a doubt- what is the role of beginning in the clue? That confused me- thinking of M alone (in stead of moors) Organic place will be the def.,isn't it?

Regarding 13A, I would suggest you to take a deeper look before commenting. You should have properly seen whether SIREN would at all give rinse on cycling.

Well done, Jacob!

In response to KKR's post at 10:29 am
DeleteThanks MBgaru
Delete25 ac. CANINE nine is constant number
ReplyDeleteCA(tches) NINE means Dog tooth
Instead of 12 ac
Doctor, your solution is correct. But the explanation needs relook
Delete27Ac NEWSROOM - {NEW{SROOM}} - New-Modern, Moors<=
ReplyDelete27Ac Anno contn Moors - Fixes
ReplyDeleteI got it after a long struggle,but still could not parse it. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBut I still have got a doubt- what is the role of beginning in the clue? That confused me- thinking of M alone (in stead of moors)
Organic place will be the def.,isn't it?
Oh! I get it now. 'Modern beginning' is to take new to the front.
ReplyDeleteGood that you read my mind, Paddy!
DeleteThank you. Otherwise can't solve it. Good one. Newspaper is generally called an organ.
ReplyDeleteOnly annotation for 25A s pending
ReplyDeleteC A Nine- C from constant and nine from number.
ReplyDeleteSolution- Canine- dog tooth.
But I can't get A.Missing or I am missing something.
You too are close to Dr. Orthopaul. But would like you to take a relook. There is no missing letter here, fyi.
Delete25Ac Anno: CANINE - {CA{N}INE} - Caine is a numbing agent catches N is coonstant.
ReplyDeleteOn a search I could not locate caine as an anaesthetic,but lidocaine and more such.
ReplyDeleteCaine, as I understand, indicates that that drug (Dibu-caine) is a numbing medicine. So IMO the anno satisfies the clue. Experts to clarify.
DeleteAppreciate your efforts Raoji.
DeleteBut this clue doesn't go to that side.
+1. (Not completely satisfied but ) you are right. Caine is a common suffix for synthetic alkaloids (probably from Latin) used as aneathetic.
DeleteA homophone of K nine? Not particularly convincing though
ReplyDeleteYes, Sureshgaru, Paddy and Raogaru
DeleteConstant=K
number=nine
catches=hears
canine is pronounced as "key nIn" and k=key number=nIn
As mentioned in my 15:48 it would read better if caught was used in place of catches
DeleteThank you KKR Sir, there is lot to learn.
DeleteThanks for the special KKR
ReplyDeleteIf my anno is right I think catches should have been caught
