Thanks KKR for wonderful Sunday puzzle.
ReplyDeleteSmall quibbles
11d. The deletion indicator is in the wrong place and misleading.
24a. "in" extraneous and confusing.
Thanks Prasad,
Delete11D I think it is in the right place. The only mistake I now realise is that the words "by order" were extraneous.
24A I feel the presence of IN is not confusing. "crashing in" is regular usage.
11d. Verb is applied to the nearest noun. So atleast, I have been looking for offer with n to delete.
Delete24a Normally, agree. But in the contextual construct, it's confusing.
11D : LIBIDOS
ReplyDeleteOffer : BID in wild animals (LIONS - N)*
Deletion ind : Not
Anagrind : By order
Defn : Sexual desires
New : N
DeleteMB, needs to be improved. hint- there is no anagram here
DeleteWhy 'By Order' at the end? That's the confusion. Otherwise MB's parsing is right- (Lions-N) around Bid.
DeleteAgree, Paddy. The presence of "By order" was by mistake. Apologies for the avoidable confusion
DeleteA wonderful Sunday CW from KKR. Enjoyed solving it.
ReplyDeleteSathia

KKR- a doubt
ReplyDeleteSide Dish. Side from Party? Is it correct? How?
One of the meanings is 'Team' which is side. Correct?
Paddy,
DeleteThese are some synonyms for SIDE from Chambers thesaurus with me:
"team, party, faction, wing, camp, sect, splinter group, cause, interest"
8D. Sidearm =sidearm" is a broad term for any small, secondary firearm—like a handgun—carried for immediate self-defense. A "Saturday Night Special" is a specific colloquial term used to describe cheap, easily concealable handguns often associated with crime, poor build quality, and lower price points.( Wikipedia)
ReplyDeleteDoctor is anagrind for admires= sidearm
