It was not only a difficult contest to clue but also one difficult to judge. Inevitably, there are large number of clues with complex constructions. Surface becomes contrived in many cases. The voters tend to be lazy in such scenario and prefer clues with simple construction like 23 or 42 ignoring complex clues. It would be interesting to see the voting paterrn in this contest.
