Full marks, Oyler! Sheer joy to have a numerical Listener with a theme. I never thought I would open the thread for a numerical. This will make our Listener year!
Yippee - great fun!...
I’m surprised that no one has yet commented on this first-class puzzle. Not the usual numerical but a thoroughly entertaining exercise in logic as well as plenty of clues to solve. Thank you, Ilver....
Enjoying this so far. I have a full grid but, as yet, don't understand the instruction. Think I'll leave it till tomorrow, as inspiration often comes after a break....
Certainly this theme was something new to me, and I am not sure that I understand all of its nuances but have managed to complete the final grid even so. Some very deft touches in both the clues and...
Again, not too tricky. I admit, though, to having got the word from the quotation rather than by more direct means, and I should go back and check where two of the letters came from. Thanks, Kruger....
Was a bit upset to have to put the latest Magpie (plug, plug) aside, but lo and behold - it's a Magoo ! With just a couple of clues to go, the light has dawned and the penny has hit the ground. Just a...
I think I got (unusually) lucky with the gridfill on this, but even so, it was not quite as intimidating as the preamble led me to fear. A fun and fair workout with some entertaining clues. Thanks,...
I can certainly appreciate the masterful job of constructing the puzzle, but this one ranked low on the fun-o-meter for me. No pennies to drop or endgame to solve, so it was just a matter of slogging...
Wowee! Amazing stuff, but really hard to fathom initially and then, and then...all of it starts to fall into place ... pause ... think again ... think again ... Eureka!! A joy, Mr Lavatch. Many, many...
This seemed so easy at first - until half the grid was filled and I was suddenly utterly stumped. Even with almost all the grid filled, the penny took a long time to drop. But what a clever treatment...
Lovely and straightforward puzzle. Glad that the highlighting is optional, although I'm sure that JEG will be generous on the interpretation of the shade. Thanks Augeas for bringing back some happy...
Persuaded out of a Listener sabbatical by the early posting on the website, I worked my way through this (thankfully) relatively straightforward issue at a steady pace and with just enough enthusiasm....
Sheer joy! And wholly agree with her sentiments....skilfully put together, and with many a clever clue amongst them (particularly liked 32a and 17d). As ever, gridfill speeds up after PDM and with...
A fun puzzle, I thought. The theme was unknown to me, so some Googling once the message from the omitted letters was clear was needed. Wikipedia to the rescue. A little more work was needed to get all...
This has be tremendous fun. Many thank Jaques, I too is typtoing in grammar's footstep's. (Actually finding the message about what solver's mus't do symmetrically helped enormous - smile!)
