An absolute delight. I thought this was going to be impossible at first, but some lucky guesses at the words in Ring 5 proved invaluable. Tough but scrupulously fair clues, and refreshing to have a...
A satisfactory end to a complex puzzle but still struggling with the alternate title and parsing some of the clues whose answers we had to work out by back solving.
Thanks, Colleague....
This question arises from a conversation I had here earlier - and it’s something to talk about other than the miseries of Coronavirus so that can’t be a bad thing. So … the Marxist Mantra - "From each...
A nice implementation of a technique we have seen before - the clues were fairly tough but became easier once the theme and symmetry became apparent.
Thanks, Opsimath....
We have no idea about what the quotation is but that didn't stand in the way of completing the grid.
Perhaps too many easy clues for a Listener.
Thanks, tnap....
That was HARD! Satisfying though, with just enough grid feedback not to make this a serious case of stubborn sticky label peeling syndrome. A worthy challenge, indeed. Thank you Brock.
Am I the first? I’m simply astounded by the result. Number theory is just an amazing thing to delve - thanks Elap. And a decent pen/paper/calculator one, too! Although my final checking was reliant...
Nice implementation of an entry method that I'm sure I've seen several times before? Some interesting vocabulary, but nothing too abstruse to deter a first-time solver. Thanks Ares - a pleasant couple...

This had a very satisfying PDM which facilitated solving considerably after a slow start. Certainly no pushover but not too hard either, for which I was grateful after an exhausting Christmas. Thanks...
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-50888060 It seems a bit odd to me that Labour are having a post mortem when they already know the answer - listen to the electorate, they've told you and in some...
Gosh, that was a workout and a half! I'm not certain I've got the final transcription right, but I'm not too bothered as I don't send in. It's clear what's required, though there's plenty of room for...
Much as one expects at this time of horrors and nasty beasties. My first thought was that clashes and thematic treatments would make for a really tough puzzle. This was not the case, as all the clues...
