    1. Yes there is a typo. It should be CAST and not CAT. Accordingly annotation given by Badri is incorrect

      Delete
    2. Prasad, Where is the error in the clue?

      Delete
    3. I think the setter meant Cat Iron, the American singer. There is no error, in my opinion.

      Delete
    4. But Badri's annotation is not right, any way.

      Delete

  28. 9 across. Why can't Cat Iron be CI and act within C and I for cacti?

    ReplyDelete
  29. I used CI to indicate Cast Iron, just like we use MS, SS and GI to indicate Mild steel, Stainless

    steel and Galvanised Iron respectively. This is an accepted abbreviation in engineering parlance.

    1. please scroll up for the correct annotation given by Smt.AJ at 11:06am

    2. The clue online (IA) was "cat" not "cast" (as given by col.)

      Delete
    3. My submission copy shows "Cast Iron', looks like the crossword editor let the cat swallow

      the 's'

  30. unable participate. btw, 8D - ENNEAD , too nice and challenging one. it was bit confused. Nine finally, I considered as (e). For the first time I understood DD for finally (in the end). Anyway, enjoyed all puzzles by Anon. Nice to see all threads. Thank you col.sir for your outstanding guidance.
