swarbrules, my approach to the Gemelo (and similarly the Mephisto on the Times site) is to use the print option, do it at leisure and then complete online.
Mywife does the same on the Times site with the weekly Cryptic Jumbo which is her preferred option. (She has so far managed to avoid the slide into addiction to the hard stuff…. As a former Chair of Phoenix Scotland, I do notice the parallels…)
Very enjoyable this week and not too taxing, which is just what I fancied:-)
Add me to the list of those who thoroughly enjoyed 10a. I also thought 30a was a worthy COD contender, along with 1d for it's clever biblical misdirect.
