Financial Times 13,390/Sleuth
Posted by smiffy on 20th May 2010
Much like 1A, this puzzle had a solid enough core but lacked that extra flair and creativity to put it in the running for any major accolades.

Seems to have been a while since I blogged a Nimrod, but I always find his puzzles a good, fun challenge.

We completed this crossword in a most pleasant way – in bed with a cup of tea during a rare weekend at home, before a pub lunch. Its gentle wit was much appreciated, with a number of the answers clued in an innovative fashion.

Guardian 25,015 – Brendan
Posted by Andrew on 20th May 2010
Another cleverly-themed puzzle from Brendan, with a lot of very nice clues. I particularly liked the misleading definitions in 7 and 8 dn. I can’t fully explain 12ac – suggestion welcome.
