Welcome, Chox

I'm with you Chox. Crushed it in an hour and a half last week. Can't even get a start today. I think 10a is 'pensive' but can only parse half of it.

10a: pensive

pen si(e)ve (riddle - another word for sieve)

I agree. Struggling very week now. Finished it but why is 14a Acropolis? I cant parse it.

Thanks
