I enjoyed this morning’s not-too-tough offering from Styx, although I found the odd clue surprisingly knotty (like discovering ball-bearings in your candy-floss). My main cavil would be that I think an anagram is rather a waste of a fifteen-letter solution.

I had a very pleasant time solving this – a witty and clever puzzle. My favourites were the clues with the mathematical signs, the setter managing to include the 4 most common. Thanks to Paul. Definitions are underlined in the clues. [[The pictures at the bottom have unidentified links to the puzzle. As usual, please double-bracket any comments on them. Thank you.]]

We found this a relatively straightforward work-out for a Thursday puzzle.

Monday Prize Crossword/Oct 8
While expecting another Crux, we got an enjoyable crossword from Falcon instead (which can be found here). I had a flying start, but just like in this setter’s recent puzzles for the Guardian (as Everyman) it wasn’t all plain sailing for me. Some nice film references in this puzzle, especially in 12ac.
