35 Answers
Hurrah - a relatively easy solve after last week's more difficult offering, so no interruption to tomorrow's Eurovision! I rather liked the final PDM. Thanks Aedites.

A lovely puzzle, not too demanding, with little need to consult the BRB (or any alternative electronic source that might otherwise have come to mind). I too was caught out initially by the misprint in 17, but even when I had worked out what it must be I was still puzzled as to what was intended; the internet hasn't provided a plausible answer.
One quibble: 3 had me stumped for a while and, as for others, was my final clue. I did solve it eventually, but only after realising that at that stage I didn't actually need to bother. It's a type of weakness by no means confined to this puzzle but perhaps inevitable from time to time when this kind of construction is chosen. It didn't spoil my enjoyment at all.

UglyUncle, can't comment further in this forum without breaking rules but happy to comment via [email protected].
The whole issue of what one can say in this forum, as debated a few weeks ago, is interesting. Even anodyne comments a couple of puzzles ago about the topic being of no interest to several people led us (then at an early stage of solving) to speculate as to what topics might be of no interest to regular (intellectual) Answerbankers and brought us broadly into the territory inhabited by the actual topic. I know that the answer is not to look at AB until one has polished off the puzzle but that is to eliminate the sense of community to a significant extent.
