[Tilly2]

I have never attempted the Guardian Genius and my answer may be completely wrong. Just having a try, Prof. :-)

[sedge47]

10a effort (hidden)

[sedge47]

1d pro m ??

[professorplum13]

Thank you sedge47 and thanks to Tilly too for having a go!

[professorplum13]

1d and 10a cross ... so now 1d ends with E

[professorplum13]

another letter in so 1d is now ?I?E

[sedge47]

1d five
V + I = VI (six) - latin word for six is sex.

[professorplum13]

Thought it must be five, but couldn't see why .... thanks again sedge47

[scorpiojo]

Y begins in 15a

[professorplum13]

Thanks scorpiojo.... though not seeing Y yet and the nom de plume letters don't seem to turn up anything when I google

[professorplum13]

... and i do have a full grid....must be thick or blind!
