| 1. | I think "cardiac arrest very shortly" being "heart failure" minus "failure" is pushing it. | | 2. | I can't see how 'a cardiac arrest very shortly' indicates 'heart' | | 3. | Doesn't work very well for me. Which portion of taglioni? And difficult to get to Heart (even after the explanation!) | | 4. | To be fair the solver requires some indication of which portion of taglioni, and the wordplay for 'heart' isn't clear. | | 5. | Too imprecise (which portion of?)('c. arrest v.shortly'= heart??) = v. unfair to solvers. Besides, HF and CA are v different medical terms. | | 6. | The wordplay is not precise enough here – 'portion of taglioni' too vague for lion and 'very shortly' cannot indicate subtraction of a word |
