Re 14ac: I think that’s what I said!

Very enjoyable, an excellent challenge.

14ac Is shape close = IS OSCEL shape indicates anagram.
Eqilateral? Scalene? a little of each, the initialletters ES.

Apart from Eileens’s explanation, the capitalisation of Equilateral and Scalene led to the ES, I think, and ‘the other’ referred to the other type of triangle. So is that not a reasonable clue? :)

“(Incidentally, you don’t have to tweet to search Twitter. You can follow Paul’s tweets from his blog.) Now, there’s a couple of sentences that would have meant nothing not so long ago!]”

They don’t mean an awful lot to me even now!

But the important thing is to say: Many congtatulations, Paul, whenever it is – and many thanks again for a great puzzle! :-)

14d I though this was a terrible clue, so contrived. “another clever surface, which I actually understood!” – perhaps you could explain it to me, because I’m just a pure mathematician.

I *think* the happy day is this week — possibly 22nd? Soon, anyway. Paul did mention the date, either on his Cryptica blog, or on Twitter, but I can’t remember it precisely.

Thanks for the blog. I enjoyed this puzzle immensely — lots of smiles and a good variety of devices. Been out all day, so couldn’t comment earlier.
