ReplyDelete3d, 28d
I have a q. In 29a - what is the role of transfix? Entrance is the definition. Unearthly no end (- u - y)
ReplyDeleteTransport is anagrind.
Kindly clarify.
IMU, no end is only one direction. So I made it obvious with "end and entrance". Transfix is the def.
DeleteInfact transfix/transport/entrance are all synonyms of enthral.
Thank u.
DeleteIn 16a - as crocodile or perhaps crocodile is require?
ReplyDeletePerhaps is not required when OEd def/synonym exists.
Delete
Deletea line or queue of people or things.
"hour-long line-ups are common during peak periods"
Similar:
line
row
column
queue
crocodile
I just found it. In Thesaurus plus. Earlier i thought it was name of a team. Thanx.
DeleteRequired*
ReplyDeleteI put it as RTMP. either way what is the anno?
ReplyDeleteRT( Right); SP(Sine prole-without issue)
Delete👌
DeleteThank u Vasanth. I didnt know Sine Prole.
ReplyDeleteThe remaining ones:
ReplyDelete13a: BYPRODUCTS. I think X II means we have to have X in two ways
X=BY as in 3 by 3=3X3 and by= products.
22A: Turret: DD
3D: GOAL GO+AL
28D V I S A: not sure of the anno.
Thank you Prasad for a challenging puzzle.
13a II as single symbol=products.
Delete22a quarto DD 4tp//game
3d GO AD(advantage) def crook: a shephed's staff
28d DD. Visa is an "international service association".
13a I couldn't avoid the cluing once i saw the possibility. I know the symbol isn't that common or that well represented by a non-scientific key board.
DeleteHope of rest of the clues were within the syntax of cryptics.
Yay! I got 3d & 28d.
DeleteDidnt know 13ac (anno)
Thanks all for solving. Thanks Col for Publishing.
ReplyDelete15D BUREAU {B{RU<=}EAU}
ReplyDeleteThanks for the special Prasad
ReplyDeleteOops. You are right. Missed all filters.
ReplyDeleteWell, whatever the intentions of the setter, 22A annoes as Turret
ReplyDeleteI also simply filled TURRET. But what is the anno? Can u explain please?
DeleteII! being used to represent products symbol!
ReplyDeleteIt is actually equivalent (visually identical) to larger form of Greek letter PI in capital form. Either of them could be used to represent product of a range, just like SIGMA is used for summation.
