Eccles has served up this week’s Wednesday puzzle. This was just what I needed to get me at least part-way through the day.

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.
