| The practice of submitting two clues in one, as in 19 and 54, is dubious, and sticking to a single idea would have improved both. Final choice: 18, 29, 15, 16, 35. |

Lots of clues to study – Thank you all.
5 points to clue 16, this was the most topical of the informal acronym clues, 12, 15, 27, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37 while 11 used a very clever reversed informal acronym, this would have got top marks but personally I don't like the &lit clues.
4 points to clue 24 a very funny simple alternative letters clue.
3 points to clue 40, LOL this was funny AND I missed the anagram with the positioning so it was very good in misleading.
2 points to clue 37, I went back over the informal acronym clues and picked it because of the clever use of words.
1 point to clue 17, this for me was an unusual clue and I voted for it because this is the clue I learnt the most from and will go and study the letter substitution method. |
