CROSSWORD
The crossword included just before Christmas produced a couple of correct answers, and one that was correct in all but the delicious detail that the (San Francisco) ‘49ers were described as the ‘69ers, which is an altogether different matter and would probably get the team banned from prime-time TV coverage in many U.S. states.
Congratulations to David Banjo, to Mike Fowler, and to Diana Freeman in Australia. Please e-mail us your address details and we’ll see what the powers-that-be can supply.
Just for reference, the relevant "number" answers were:
Across
W8CHALLENGED; RAM1S; IN10DED; NO2RTHIT; DAR4 (sorry about that one); APEN9S; LIS10TOME; BEN2OD; D1GAL
Down
CHAS10; L1LY, WELLD1; 2TIME; 40 9RS (forty-niners)
This gives a correct answer of 98, or if you choose instead to count the "double" clues separately, add an extra 12, or 110.
Thanks to all for taking part.
