It was suggested by a much respected contributor to this site that we try a "reverse situation" quiz. The object is to set the answer to a cryptic clue and then try to construct a clue to the word. The suggestion is that the word set is difficult to clue. One regular contributor ONLY will judge the efforts, this will be the previous week’s winner, who in turn will set the clue for the following week. A one-day timeframe is in place, (longer than this would be very difficult to cope with). The judge's decision is final (reasons given OR NOT).

Hello all,I have managed to get a very slow connection here on the farm.

This is a working dairy farm so this week's prize will involve a lot of mucking about!

Clues to be submitted before 16:30 BST tomorrow (Wed 20th)

The word is VENTRILOQUISM

Results soon after 5pm tomorrow
Best of luck,
tonyw

Sorry Ixion....

But that's a terrible, convoluted clue.
