I also thought it was Virgilius and agree it was a great puzzle from Mr Phriday. I spotted the theme early on which helped. I (almost) got a mention too!

Doing it online I thought it was Virgilius. I can’t see anything wrong with ‘worked at university’ as a definition of taught. I think John got confused trying to read it as an & lit which doesn’t work. Very clever grid construction. Doing it online I thought it was Virgilius.

The letter T seems to be quite popular of late! Definitely harder than average for Phi, though that was to be expected given the grid construction, and being able to stick all the Ts in with only half the grid filled helped quite a lot. Does make me wonder what we've got in store on Friday though! A cracker of a puzzle. The letter T seems to be quite popular of late!

I think the clue stands up either way. But so does my doubt: even if it's as you say, 'Worked at university' is not in itself a sufficient indicator of 'taught', in my opinion. It need a question mark at least. I'm surprised that Phi, who seems to have the highest standards, should include a definition by example. TAUGHT - you may well be right, Niall.
