RR again, we have actually reached the end and have to agree that this is just basic maths IF you can locate the tables to help, jim360, but, even though we had a horrendous triangular number Listener crossword a year or two ago, I still haven't found a user-friendly table for those. Of course success in this kind of puzzle helps if you don't make basic errors of logic (as I did). Clue 22d spelled out what we had to count, but I stupidly only gave one cricket team two legs each (yes - all twelve men, thanks to Oyler's prompt). It took a big nudge to prompt me that you wouldn't get far on a cricket pitch with 24 one-legged players. This thread is growing longer and longer. It is already far longer than the current Listener one (and that puzzle was compiled by the two editors!) so maybe devadolly and I are on safe ground suggesting that there should perhaps be a numerical EV alongside - repeat ALONGSIDE - the normal one - it might be a good sales move!
