Math appears to be a new setter in the Independent series as I can’t find evidence of an earlier puzzle in the records.
Independent 12,136/Bluejacket
The Monday offering in the Independent is from Bluejacket. I blogged this setter’s debut puzzle in April of this year, so they are still a little bit of the new kid on the block. Another delightful cryptic today, which I much enjoyed.
Independent on Sunday 1,853/Filbert
Filbert in his customary IoS slot, with a delightful and meticulously constructed puzzle. A wide range of subjects on show too, which made it a pleasure to solve and blog.
