Hello Xword,

I'm not sure either but if it helps I copied the sort of pictures found when you google image the experiment, where the two objects are dropped from the far edge of the top lip leaning out. I put them side by side about two thirds down. I don't know whether all five words of the site should be highlighted or not - it looks nicely symmetrical with just four highlighted so I think I'll go with that, but....

Perhaps the setter got the title from the hit by the Human League. Worth listening to again on YouTube........"We'll always be together in electric dreams".

Thanks pkd. There are, for me, so many imponderables with this one that it seems impossible to come up with a definitive solution, which is why I thought I must have got the whole of the endgame wrong. I'm just glad I don't send in my solutions!

Mersault, all I can say now is to hope that you enjoyed your visit to the pub as much as I did? It is such a pity that what should be an interesting challenge leads to so much confusion and irritation.

Yes, Notrab, eventually I did. I agree with your sentiments entirely...without being discourteous either to this setter or to setters in general, it seems a pity that after all the effort of constructing a grid with a concealed theme there is not more thought given to all the possible outcomes, and perhaps more attention paid to the preamble.

I think I now know where to place the L and S, and that I need to highlight 5 words in the grid. But, do I put the experimenter's signature as a capital G or a lower case g? The two symbols surely aren't the same and the one the experimenter would be concerned with would be g. It seems rather rude to put his initial as the lower case g. Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.

I thought the endgame was OK, although agree telling us how many words to highlight would have been good. I'm going for 4.

Struggled with the figuring out the wordplay on several answers, mostly resolved by the posts above. One left - where does the first 't' come from in 28A. I can see a taxman going back and forth and a worker, but not where the first t comes from. Anyone any ideas?

Thanks

Hi smellyharry, to retired = t' an obsolete form.
