Comments on the clue
1.Two good clues that combine nicely. Well done.
2.Not sure about "yet another" for "nth". Nonetheless, a nice way to finish the year and worth a point or two!
3.Just about the only entry I can't find any fault with. Not often that one sees 'nth', especially with such a nicely concealed definition.
4.I love this one
 
Comments on the competition
1.
This was a tough challenge and it would be harsh to over-criticise the clue writers who struggled but still took part. A few succeeded brilliantly, especially 14. Happy New Year to all.
