Listener 4719 What's My Line? By Hawk

[emcee]

A good puzzle. I enjoyed solving the clues which were sometimes quite challenging based on the misprint being anywhere in the clue.

The endgame was unambiguous and impressive.

Thanks, Hawk.

I agree with everything that emcee has said.

Some nicely abstruse vocabulary here and there to push up the difficulty level too.

Thanks Hawk - a very good Listener indeed.

A beautiful construction paired with some very tough clues.
The final outcome was well defined and elegant.

Thanks, Hawk.

Still trying to finish 4717.

Thanks emcee / sunny dave / upsetter - that's much appreciated.

You can never tell whether a puzzle's going to work until it's been published. I've learned a lot from this one already.

This puzzle really stretched me since the clues were quite tough taking into account the misprints and the clashes, and I had to fully complete the grid before I could identify the name and work out the construction.

I appreciated the lack of ambiguity in the misprints and in the endgame.

Thanks Hawk for an enjoyable and challenging puzzle.

A very nice puzzle - kept dipping in over a busy weekend. I had only vaguely heard of the name, but all became clear. My only quibble is in the addition of the applications. Unnecessary, and really only vaguely relevant. I'd have left them out.

Thanks Philoctetes - I'll address that point in the Listen With Others blog in a few weeks time.

Sorry, got the wrong thread! I enjoyed this and the way it turned out. Thanks, Hawk.
