- I seem to recall that Mike Laws once commented that the usual number of submissions was measured “by the bucket-load”.

Yes, nmsindy’s explanation of the title was spot-on.

Grid completed but completely failed to cotton on to the requirement to move “on” even though “on the buses” was clearly the answer that upset Lato from the apology to Reg. So I too was unable to submit.

Does anyone know what the normal level of submitted solutions to Inquisitor is?

Despite a grid almost filled, there were a few details that I didn’t spot, so was not able to submit this week. Thanks yet again to Duncan for clearing things up.

I think the title is a pun on “The Bonuses” are “Not fair” with fare coming from the buses. My solving experience was the reverse of yours with the central part coming first and struggling with the anagrammed banks. Thanks, Lato, and Duncan.

I didn’t understand “sorry, 4″ in the preamble – so thanks Duncan; and I don’t get the title either.

Thanks for the blog making everything clear.
