1.Well disguised cryptic definition.
2.I like this, though feel the ears is a little too far to garner more points.
3.Winner for me. Would not be out of place in a published crossword.
4.I’m pretty sure it’s just the seeds and not whole ears that go into cornflakes
5.Great definition
6.By the time they're boxed they're not ears any more
7.Unique – I like it.
