Perhaps it is too much Sammy Hagar addling my brain, but I can't finish today's DM crossword.

20 across, size, for example, ring for intimate friend, (5,3). I have A?T?R, ?G? and am sure it is "alter ego", but why?

23 down, occupy block, (4) I have F?L? and suspect it is "fill" but, again, why?

For 8 down I have Papua New Guinea, but how do you get this from the clue?

alter ego?

Janpot

Your answers are correct, as to why, you just have to think about the clues. Not always obvious.

scotman

size [alter] + for example [eg] + ring [o] ?

I got the ego bit quite easily but the alter was perplexing me.

Cheers for the help Janpot, I didn't realise thinking was involved. God only knows how I got the rest of the answers. I've spent ages on the Papua New Guinea clue, removing the word "genuine" to see if it is an anagram, but am still stuck, hence my reason for posting.

Mamyalynne

Rather uncalled for Janpot.

Dinkypuzzled

8d. Something like - pap(u)a +genuine+w(ithin)+a ?

Thanks mamyalynne, I try not to post unless I've exhausted my limited brain power, and I've been stuck with Papua New Guinea since before lunchtime, so I thought it was a bit unnecessary too.

Mamyalynne

Totally and there are some odd folk out there, good luck.
