1. | Clearly not & lit., and the wordplay doesn't indicate that the gases are inside 'lit' | 2. | I want to like this more. It's a nice idea, but the use of 'lit' as an intransitive verb doesn't work for me, and there's no real indication | 3. | Can't see how this is an &lit? | 4. | 'gases' too vague to indicate O, N, Ar(see clue 29 in April comp.)Overall container isn't properly indicated. Foolhardy rather than brave ? | 5. | I like the surface(!) BUT clue is unfair to solve: how does one guess that 'gases' = ONAr (and not NArO, HeXe, OXeN, etc, etc)? | 6. | Gases is too vague here, there are hundreds! This is not an & Lit. clue – only the first four words are the definition |
