There were lots and lots of clues with interesting ideas in. Of these, most didn't form into a satisfying clue in my view because of some:
– grammatical or linguistic strain 12 13 14 15 16 25 30 35 37 40
– loose definition 26 47
– long-windedness 6 18 19 21 32.
I gave points to the clues that were well formed and would have given satisfaction if found in a printed puzzle.
41 Neat. A bit of humour always hits the spot (even toilet humour) – top of this pile – 5.
I spread my other votes among 11, 22, 24, 39, 48 – 2 each. |

| I wish one could eliminate clues by using some sort of filter, leaving a shorter (much shorter in this case) list on the screen to look at. That would leave me with 1,5,14,25,30,35,3947, and 48. I would be rather surprised to see any others in the top 5. None of them is perfect, but I pick 48 as the best. |
