12A- Is 'no in the front'= Na?
ReplyDeleteNot sure. I am confused by ' One in the rear'?
DeleteI connected it to second 'dirty' to mean sty.
DeleteIntended as AN <<
DeleteRear as reversal indicator?
DeleteI too filled no as NA and ignored the "one in rear".
Delete10A is a promotion question

DeleteThank you Colonel & others. What exactly does a promotion mean here?
DeleteIt means you are no longer considered a newbie or a casual solver and not eligible (!) to answer such questions reserved for them- leave it to real newbies.. But you are expected to participate more regularly and voice your comments/ suggestions/ point any errors etc. This is to encourage more people to come forward
DeleteThank you :)
