Financial Times 14,189 – Crux
Posted by Sil van den Hoek on 29th December 2012
Monday Prize Crossword/Dec 17
An overall enjoyable Crux crossword to end another year of blogging. So, A Very Happy New Year to everyone out there! At this place, I would like to thank Dante and Crux for providing the lion’s share of the FT’s Monday puzzles, but others like Armonie, Falcon, Mudd or Gaff were equally appreciated. I am really looking forward to my first blog in 2013. Am I? Seen last Monday’s crossword? Is this Dante/Rufus’s Revenge on his criticasters? Not sure whether I will survive this outrageous ‘crossword’ - but more about that next week (I hope …. 
).

Enigmatic Variations No. 1048: Missing Title by Nutmeg
Posted by mc_rapper67 on 29th December 2012
Another annoyingly misleading editing error in the preamble – which starts: ‘Half of the 24 clued answers…’ but should probably start: ‘Half of the 48 clued answers…’, or ‘Of the 48 clued answers, 24/half…’. Anyway, these 24 need to suffer ‘a related loss’ to form the grid entry. ‘Most’ of these can be construed as an 11D by a character to be found in the grid. Initial letters of the other (24) clues form a partial ‘further explanation’, which needs to be finished off below the grid. Is that clear?! It took a few readings and re-readings before I really got a grip of what was going on…
