Unbelievable 86% on the GK. I checked everything against Chambers. I had a typo on Ovambo but everything else checked out apart from 27a for which I have Sawyer which is not in Chambers.I am at a complete loss as to what else is wrong.
I checked Sawyer and found a reference for it as a longhorn beetle. The river I had Lualaba, french coin, cardecu, hindu mendicant, sanyasi, ottoman governor, beglerbeg
I am equally baffled - partly by where I have gone wrong and partly by the scoring system.
The only score I see from time to time (other than - ahem - 100%...) is 96% which I've always assumed is for one error. For this one, though, I have 89%... Given that Danny has 86%, I'm failing to find a pattern here...
O... K... I've now checked my answers against the solution and they are all correct - except that the DT has 24A as "Ragnorak" instead of "Ragnarok". This is clearly wrong as 12D is "Balletshoes".
It doesn't help that DT prints the solution below an empty grid.
HI Babs. I also checked the solution this morning.I have contacted the DT regarding this. Nobody can offer an explanation andd it is obviously too late to do anything about it now.I have completed this weeks prize crosswords and they are showing 100-% so let's hope it was a one off.
Do we know when DT's super-duper "makeover" of the Puzzles site is going to be unveiled? I seem to remember the last time something like that happened it all went extremely pear-shaped...
