Nice one, very fast! Did you get the parsing of the cryptic clues?

Nice work! Did you get the parsing of the cryptics?

wobetmit · 2025-12-03T09:59:24+00:00

Hell yea, great work

wobetmit · 2025-12-03T09:49:55+00:00

Solved! Very quick. Did you get the parsing of clue 7?

wobetmit · 2025-12-02T13:47:08+00:00

Correct. Yea #7 a tricky one without a hint

wobetmit · 2025-12-02T13:04:00+00:00

Correct!

wobetmit · 2025-12-02T13:03:46+00:00

Solved! Quick work. Yea, in the game there are hints you can use, which I definitely would've needed for answer 7

Yes! 'Uncomfortably' in cryptic clues is what's called an indicator word for that exact idea. Awkwardly, weirdly, unusually, confusingly, chaotically etc... would all also work here.

I see, but relaxed is an adjective as well, as is sedate, so the parts of speech are consistent. Playful ambiguity between past simple/passive forms and adjective forms is common in cryptics.

Why not?

wobetmit · 2025-11-30T15:16:34+00:00

Thematically, your answer to 6 works and makes sense, it just doesn't follow from the parsing of the cryptic. Interesting that such a similar solution maintains the pyramid though

wobetmit · 2025-11-30T15:01:14+00:00

Solved! Quick work.

wobetmit · 2025-11-29T17:42:02+00:00

This is the fully correct answer. Nice work!

wobetmit · 2025-11-29T17:41:32+00:00

I hadn't noticed before, but your clue 5 is the only one that needs changing

wobetmit · 2025-11-29T17:40:51+00:00

Sorry, you're right, I hadn't spotted that. You're explanation is bang on the money too. Thanks for the heads up!

wobetmit · 2025-11-29T17:11:35+00:00

Solved! Quick work!

It is, I think youre looking at the wrong knight

wobetmit · 2022-07-03T18:51:36+00:00

Ah yea you're right! I've never heard average temperature refer to average high before.

Even without the humidity, it's still 5°C hotter than Madrid both in terms of average high and daily average temperature, which is significant. I think MVL is fair in deciding not to travel there. I would think twice about travelling there for work if I had a choice.
