Seth I hold a PhD in Statistics and (until recently) headed a university mathematics unit. I was introduced to EV about 14 grids ago and have submitted 12 of these crosswords to date. I find them absolutely awesome and the Sin of the Beast must rank among the very best!

Congratulations!

Seth, thank you for this posting.
I have been doing/attempting EV crosswords for several years now, and I (amongst others on this site) rate them very highly. Last week's one on the fruit machine theme was extremely elegant and clever. Some of them need days to complete; in the past we had a couple of weeks within which to submit solutions. A few months ago this was reduced to 5 days, and, as of last week is now down to 4 days ! And yet the solution is not printed for a further 10 days.....can you please explain why ? I am sure that the compilers of these gems would appreciate the fact that there might be several more submitted entries. Is there any possibility that this entry period can be reextended ?

Ulysses, You appear to assume that I am the EV editor! I'm not, but I'll ask him next time I'm in touch.

Thanks again again!

I am a relative newcomer to cryptics and particularly EV. You people constantly amaze me with your ingenuity, and you are the reason I had to buy Chambers.
Thanks so much for all the enjoyment.

Just like to echo the comments above about E.Vs. I've been attempting them for nine years and never cease to be amazed at the ingenuity ( sadism! ) of the compilers.

I would like to add my thanks for the (far too) many enjoyably frustrating hours spent on EV crosswords.
I was introduced to them on this site about six months ago.. they really are so clever and inventive...and The Sin of the Beast was outstanding.

I've said it before and I'll say it again here, EV can hold it's own with the best any day - speaking of which, you all still have time to look at Seth's latest offering from last week:
