How much more frightening is it to do a DA on Friday 13th, Sydneysiders?
Greakster is upon us, and maybe it’s this week, the real Easter weekend, that DA brings us a bunny-related crossword (etymological treat for the day: Easter comes from Ēostre, a female pagan goddess whose festival was celebrated around and about, and from whom words such as oestrogen also derive).
To make things even more happily coincidental: the Tigers will probably win this weekend.
Update: The Tigers did indeed win, as did most of us DA Trippers it seems:
Is GLIMPSE the finest hidden clue in a very long while?
Some very easy definitions to get you going, and then the trickiness. KNIFED was a bit harsh, I thought, as was ILL.
No matter: we had LOO and GLIMPSE and GALAH.
Here is some medical advice you may want to consider before starting this week’s DA: http://medicaldaily.com/news/20120411/9496/alcohol-solving-skills-analytical-thinking-creativity-study.htm
Far too easy today…
I’m pleased to see that I make a guest appearance in today’s DA :)
Thought 1D was lame.
That’s funny JK!
I thought 1A, 10A and 2D were way too easy for DA. It was a two-paced puzzle. Very easy to get the first half or so, then a lot more challenging to get the second half.
Liked 23A, 22D, 13D and 14D.
SLYTHERIN in the HP puzzle was better hidden (though cleverer others will disagree) I only got it on about the 10th read-through, with the other 3 houses safely in the bag.
And just for us, do you think DA would do a special AFL theme. To what clue, do you think, would Riewoldt be the answer?
Write old rubbish?
Good one, Rupert :)
Very funny Rupert but a bit harsh. We hav to remember that there is a Riewoldt who plays for our host’s tam
or team, even.
Obviously Rupert was referring to the lesser Riewoldt, the one who plays for St. Kilda.
I have no idea who either of them are. This is the sport without sleeves, right?
