DM Thursday

[Duncer]

Doctor hoards unlimited cash, so raise price (6). I have ?A?U?P and am pretty sure it is "Gazump". I get the GP aspect of it, but where does the rest come from?

[chelle7272]

mazuma without end letters (unlimited) jewish currency

[Canary42]

Now that IS smart :)

[Duncer]

Canary42, for "smart" I'm reading wilfully obscure.

[Canary42]

LOL

[chelle7272]

I thought it was pretty good for the DM....

[Duncer]

It is good, but I'm standing by willfully obsure aswll.

[chelle7272]

lol fair enough...

[marg14a]

It cant be mazuma as the letters i have are ?A?U?P which i make gazump

[chelle7272]

marg it is (m) azum (a) inside gp = gazump.
poster was asking for an explanation rather than an answer :)

[factor-fiction]

.... the answer is GAZUMP for the reasons given :
MAZUMA less the MA = AZUM
Add the GP round it = GAUMP

[factor-fiction]

... I meant GAZUMP at the end of course!

[marg14a]

Yes, thanks for that.The whole of today's crossword is (to my mind) a bit obscure today.
