Comments on the competition
1.
1st (4 points) 11 (I took some time to appreciate this, but it fits together better and better the more I look at it)
2nd (2.5 points) 3 (utterly silly and disobeys the normal rules, but strikingly clever)
3rd= (1.5 points each): a number of clues all of which were almost good but each of which had what seemed to be some blemish): 8 (artificial use of 'rime' not 'rhyme'], 13 (a bit flat), 19 (I had doubts about the soundness of the def.), 34 (rather vague def.), [36} (also a bit flat)
8th (1 point) 32 (I wasn't sure about the way the anagram indicator worked)
