10across Nominate 27across (looks like) Triangle

[fiction-factory]

I wonder what the exact clue was for 27a. The angle at the circumference in a semicircle is a right angle

[xacross]

27 Across Like a semi-circle to a degree, strangely altering shape (8) T?i?N?L?

[ducksie]

FF clue to 27ac Like a semi-circle to a degree, strangely altering shape (altering is the triangle)

[fiction-factory]

Yes, must be right- anagram of altering. Of course semicircle and triangle are not the same thing- even to a degree- but it is RTE

[Mamyalynne]

Both 180 degrees

[ducksie]

Yep, it is RTÉ - but, we get to know the setter and you can kind of see most of the answers are anagrams (not always, sometimes)

[fiction-factory]

Agreed Mamyalynne- to the extent that a parallellogram or rectangle or delta or rhombus etc are circles to a degree

[Mamyalynne]

semi circle
