Comments on the clue
1.I’m sure the surface could have been made more plausible
2.I'm not sure what reading in reverse means
3.Nice idea but the 'in reverse' doesn't suit the surface
4.This one broke my heart. Such a perfect telescopic but ruined with the outlandish concept of reading backwards at the end.
