I started well then came to a big full stop. Could some kind person help me with a couple of clues so I can get started again. The clues may have an extra letter in the word play. 1 down: Prince Hal...
Is there a thread somewhere that I have overlooked? We have enjoyed Samuel's clues (of course) but needed the Internet to identify some of the solutions to the algebraic clues (even though it is a...

Anyone finished this ? I have and think it's an excellent puzzle but am bugged that the solution isn't accurate enough for my liking. Also, anyone noticed the letters of the finder's name in the grid...

Is there no thread to this one? I found it quite difficult, but now have a full grid, the members of the group and the theme, but am at the grid staring stage, looking for the 12 connecting cells....
