g) I only picked ones with good surface readings in both versions.
6. Very nice surface reading in both sentences, and nice play on different meanings of "bowler". 5 points.
21. Very nice, very clean. 4 points.
18. Clever play on different meanings of "service", plus good readings. 3 points.
9. Very nice reading in both, not particularly happy with using the proper name "Coe" - but that's mitigated by the probably reference to Sebastian Coe, who is after all a famous runner. 2 points.
28. Weakest of my selections, in that the devilled version seems incomplete. 1 point. |
