Very nice – a challenge rather than a struggle if you know what I mean. Thanks Redshank.

Greetings from the San Francisco Airport. A relatively straightforward challenge from Peto with a workable-mix of uncommon parsings that kept the interest well alive. Had to confirm the deconstruction for a couple of solutions on google but otherwise a pleasant warm-up kind of puzzle.

Very straightforwardly clued, but with a nice sting in the tail. Nice one, Chalmie.

Financial Times 15,051 by BRADMAN

Fri October 2, 2015 at 2:31 pm by Turbolegs

It felt like Bradman has been possessed by Io. This has got to be the toughest Bradman challenge I have had to deal with yet. Cant say I enjoyed it much, especially since I had to use external help that I keenly loathe. Nevertheless, I do hope other solvers did good justice and had a better time than I did in cracking this.

I enjoyed this. I thought this was a nice level of difficulty; the answers did not give themselves away, but it was not a fight to the death like some of the Wednesday puzzles can be (setters – you know who you are!). Thanks Wanderer.
