And as much of the discussion today was on 15dn dangerous LANDMINE, thought of sharing this joke....😊<br /><br />A man is walking down the street when he steps on a landmine. His leg is blown clean off as well as some distance down the street. As he looks up he sees a stray dog grab his leg and begin carrying it down the street. This infuriates the man so, in a state of shock, he stands on his one leg and starts hopping like the devil is chasing him down the street. Just then, a nearby onlooker yells at him "You'll never catch him! That dog has FIVE legs!"Mukundala Balasubramanyamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778248287813410500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-89168778061804251362017-01-23T10:53:40.152+05:302017-01-23T10:53:40.152+05:30Thanks vasant.. yes Dogs as a placement indicator ...Thanks vasant.. yes Dogs as a placement indicator is unusual .. thanks for pointing it out Srividyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158643858913977806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-81819267406069209292017-01-23T10:32:35.628+05:302017-01-23T10:32:35.628+05:30I think without crossings today's clue has a b...I think without crossings today's clue has a better chance of getting solved..the definition Hidden Explosives leads to Landmines..the definition They are buried..would require a few crossings to get the answer as it happened with me & I am sure with others in the Bruno puzzleVasanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032858551414707310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-68307714304890543572017-01-23T10:10:55.008+05:302017-01-23T10:10:55.008+05:30A brilliant puzzle with gems strewn all over the p...A brilliant puzzle with gems strewn all over the place..If shaving cream and fit as a fiddle were lovely, the simple Ego was outstanding..the trick in Landmines, though brilliant, didnt have that aha moment as it came recently in the Bruno puzzle..<br />An equally brilliant blog Srividya.<br />Thanks for the entertainment & a superb beginning to the new week.Vasanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032858551414707310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-48134217050026397652017-01-23T09:28:14.107+05:302017-01-23T09:28:14.107+05:30Good point Raghu .. but I did not remember the nic...Good point Raghu .. but I did not remember the niceties of the surface though I did notice the surface was different Srividyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158643858913977806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-80944927577637582452017-01-23T09:27:22.522+05:302017-01-23T09:27:22.522+05:30I mean one remembers the anno.I mean one remembers the anno.Raghunathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17162552411714117166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-57054254605088624062017-01-23T09:26:10.270+05:302017-01-23T09:26:10.270+05:30One certainly remembers a clue which requires late...One certainly remembers a clue which requires lateral thinkingRaghunathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17162552411714117166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-13094838644162362572017-01-23T09:21:54.977+05:302017-01-23T09:21:54.977+05:30PS I too felt today's ver. is better.
