Guardian 24,807 – Araucaria

Quite a challenge today, mainly due to the problems with getting started in such an interlocking grid. Once 15dn was cracked the rest became easier, however.

Financial Times 13,184/Falcon
Posted by smiffy on 17th September 2009
This is the first puzzle I’ve had a crack at, let alone blogged, in a little while so was relieved to be reintroduced into the shallow end of the pool. While solving, there seemed to be a plethora of beheading/curtailing-type devices, but on review they don’t seem to be quite as overabundant.

Prize puzzle from the Weekend FT of September 5
Another Cincinnus that, for me, is as impeccable as it is satisfying.
