1.I really like the first sentence – not so much the second.
2.As the long explanation shows, the clue needs rather detailed knowledge to solve
 
Comments on the competition
1.
Anagrams of A GIRL with an added O were common (I used the idea myself) == but the idea wsa not always as well exploited as it might have been. The writer of 57 clearly has no idea about solvability, a common fault with those who write long essays to justify their over-complicated clues.
