Listener 4761 Outside The Box By Arcadia

Another enjoyable puzzle. It wasn't as daunting as the preamble initially suggested. There was a good mix of clue difficulty -- some very straightforward, others "Sabre-esque". I particularly liked the 'bucket' and the 'Oz informer' clues.

Many thanks, Arcadia.

For the second week in a row we are not convinced that we have completed the puzzle.
The grid fill was satisfying and the clues were amusing but the end game did not give us any sense of closure.

Less formidable than I first thought. Certainly something rather different - thanks Arcadia

I’m in agreement with upsetter. Great fun but I am unsure quite what the final grid should look like, but maybe that’s down to me, geometry not being my strong point.

Thanks Arcadia.

I found this harder than last week's hexagonal. I needed to cold solve around 90% of the clues - many of which were, as you say, quite tricky (a couple were very obscure) - before I could start the grid fill. This was pleasantly quick, thankfully, but I then ground to a halt on the shading. I spotted something which could work this morning, but I spent a long time looking under a different interpretation of the instruction. If my answer's correct, then I'm not entirely happy with the preamble. It's nice to have the narrative, but I don't think it was adequately precise.

But, that's a minor thing, really. It's an excellent, quirky puzzle which I really enjoyed - thanks Arcadia!

Like others, I'm not totally convinced by the shading. What I have done seems to meet what is said in the preamble, but leaves me asking what the point of it is. Has Mrs. Arcadia taken the huff?
Still something different, some very easy clues I thought, some much tougher. Thanks Arcadia.

upsetter

By the way - thanks Arcadia.

I think you have to read all this as a bit of uxorial oneupwomanship :-)

Surprised by a few of the comments; the preamble is almost too helpful, and there is surely no doubt about the solution?
