Thanks everyone for your comments. I am off for a busy schedule today
ReplyDeleteYes sir. After a cool CW, afterall, you deserve a Busy Schedule-)
ReplyDeleteTrue.
ReplyDeleteDon't you all feel crossword like this no doubt inflates ones ego, but becomes a child's play .
ReplyDeleteMy two cents.
DeleteLike textbook shots in cricket, I call such clues as textbook clues. Mind you, they are not easy to set at all.
And the setter is following the KISS rule - Keep It Short and Simple!
To me, no CW is a child's play. Though incognito's CW are IMHO, comfortably worded...
ReplyDeleteGreat - simple & easy. But I have 2 doubts
ReplyDelete1. What is the telescopic indicator in 30ac, 32c etc. Is a specific indicator required?
2. 17ac - Density in clue when solution is DENSEST. Could the clue have been recorded.
@ Kishore/ @ Prasad - can u kindly clarify?
Thanx for an enjoyable Quartet Kishore!
1. 's (hero's / duke's)
Delete'S read as has/possess is weak but accepted.
Delete17c agree. Should have been recorded. May be incognito intended to come back and rewrite. But missed it in the back ground!
Thank u Prasad! 🙂
DeleteThank u! 🙂
DeleteThank u! 😊
DeleteReworded*
