Listener 4040: In Shock by Hubris

Not too difficult a challenge this week, but I found the highlighting a little disappointing because of the lack of symmetry: a time-invariant version, omitting the central symbol, would have allowed more. I was awfully tempted by spin and noise. I'm not pretending for a moment that I could have done better, but I think other setters could have led us to a more satisfying outcome.

Bellabee, to repeat what has already been said. In relation to the position of your 7-letter word in the grid, think where you would expect your threes to be - kind of staring at each other - and how they might be 'distributed' on a rather dull day - not exactly 'full house'. Good luck - I know how frustrating it is to be unable to complete that last stage.

Many thanks, Cruncher. That clears up one thing but the penny has yet to drop. i see two interesting jumbles, but the 6 letter one can be made in various ways. i've a messy. unsatisfying solution I might have to settle for to be rid of this one.

Ruthrobin, your compassion has inspired me to soldier on a little further.You imagery has refreshed my weary mind.

glad to be falling into the same traps as some others...had TACKY, have the obvious 7 and 4 and am feeling like my day's work is done. nice to be finishing (and savouring) one before the next appears!

Thanks for that clamzy - but managed to crack it earlier this morning.
Big thanks to ruthrobin without whose encouragement I would have given up.

Ruthrobin

Delighted that you got there Bellabee. Now we have another to struggle with - Merlin's Motley Crew.

I am being extremely dense again ... I have everything apart from what you grandmasters of the Listener have labelled the two 3 letters abbreviations .... aaarrrgghhh!

I don't finish the Listener too often and being stuck by this is killing me!

Help!

gorf1962

OK ... I gather not many of you read this at this stage ... but I finally got the abbreviations ... both the same ... and I finished my 12th one this year so far ... I think! ... not bad for a frog! ... Vive la R�publique et les membres de l'assembl�e! A ca ira ... ca ira ...

ziller

gorf1962, you are really looking for 2 two-letter abbreviations with an 's' on the end, making 3 letters. They are well known abbreviations of people you'd see in the thematic place, one on each side of the grid.

Hope that helps!
