Thanks for all your entries. Welcome Tantanio – please check out Peer Review and Weekend Peer Review – in all cases you’ll need to compose at least one clue!
Thanks for the explanations Raffles! Of the containers; really liked SS 4 but felt “is” was superfluous; would have preferred a semi-colon or dash. Enjoyed Chris’s 2. Liked Geting5/6 and Andy’s 8. Loved Darla’s 11 but felt it required specialist knowledge to solve. Liked surface and construction of Tyke 20. Liked Motley’s topical 24 but DBE not specific enough for my taste. Also tickled by Geeker 41/44.
Final results.
Joint Bronze; Tyke 20 and SS 22 (way over my pay grade!)
Joint Silver; Motley 14 and Jon 8
My choice this week is Darla 23’s ultra-smooth surface
Run into Scotsman in Middle East country
Congratulations Darla!
Apologies for the serious tone of the prizes but this is my reflection on the historic time we are living in.
