Unfortunately Shuchi is unable to join us today so here is a substitute analysis. A fairly straightforward puzzle in the main but I have to admit that I had never heard of 12ac or 19ac before today and 27ac was only a very dim memory.

A reasonably straightforward puzzle from Bonxie, with some nice touches. I have some quibbles with two or three definitions.

It’s a while since I blogged a Friday Phi, so either I’m a little rusty or this was quite a tough one.

I found this hard and took a good afternoon to solve it. There were a couple of words or phrases I had not come across before, namely CACOETHES SCRIBENDI and PULQUE. I knew the first was an anagram and probably had SCRIBE… in the second word of the phrase. In the second word, PULQUE, I got the QUE alright, but I also hadn’t come across PULE meaning ‘pipe’ before. I wondered how obscure these words were, so I amused myself by looking them up on Google and seeing how many hits they each generated.
