Perfectly sound, of course, as you’d expect, but difficult in my opinion. Had never heard of Istria. Read the rest of this entry »

No particular problems today apart from 27ac where I cannot make up my mind as to the correct interpretation of the clue. There are a couple of possibilities, or maybe even something else that I have overlooked.

My second posthumous puzzle in a row – Quantum died in May 2008 – and sadly another one that I can’t be very enthusiastic about. Most of the clues are fine, though not very exciting, but there are some cryptic definitions that are either weak or very vague, and none of them provide the “aha!” moments that Rufus’s best CDs do.

I found this pretty challenging (=difficult), though really interesting, and certainly would not have finished it without computer aids! (My favourite is a little program I’ve had for many years called “Puzzlex”.)
