Hey Susan,Think of a rock, the parts of its name being synonyms for “even” (4) (as in flatten) and “weight” (5).
Hmmm, well, five random clues answered so far, but I have no idea about the first across clue:5 across: Bind helium in nucleus (6)If it is actually easyish, may I have a hint, please, but if it is hard, an answer would be appreciated.
Think periodically, and put it in the middle
Thank you for your help. I googled the periodic table but I'm afraid I couldn't work out how to do as you suggest. I also looked up synonyms of bind, but no luck there, so may I have an answer, please?
On the periodic table helium is HE.
Ah, thank you. In that case I think I had the right idea already, i.e. atom, plus he, but it is only now by googling definition atheom that I realise that atheom is a member of the periodic table. Next thing I'll have to do is find out what it is.
Atheom is not right. The centre is much more apple and earth reference and it gives you a word which is related to bind.
I think I have just this minute discovered that! I think the first letter has to be C because 5 down Is COLESLAW. So I'll have another think about that. Ah, yes, it must be COHERE?I am here because15 down is Second number scheme on European aircraft ( The answer has to be MONOPLANE I think, but don't know, and if it is, can you say why, please? And where is the 'second'?
Hi Susan,Second is MO (as in “just a mo”), number is NO, scheme is PLAN and European is E. Et voila!
We have a number of readers who are regular correspondents with the Puzzles team, whether providing feedback on puzzles or just wanting to discuss general puzzles matters. One of these is Edward Fulton of Reading, who, aged 85, has been solving the Telegraph Crossword for over 60 years. Mr Fulton prides himself on having entered every Saturday prize puzzle in that time (winning several prizes along the way), and having got each entry correct. Sadly, Mr Fulton wrote to us a couple of weeks ago to let us know that his 60-year run of correct Saturday solutions had come to an end, as he fell foul of the following clue in a recent prize puzzle:Control such as Nelson far too much (4,4,4)Judging by feedback received, it seems that Mr Fulton was not alone in missing out on the answer to this clue, which was HOLD SWAY OVER, where 'such as Nelson' defines (wrestling) HOLDS, and 'far too much' gives WAY OVER.After such a long unbeaten run, Mr Fulton could be forgiven for being downcast and calling it a day. Quite the opposite, in fact, as he told us that he intends to beat medical science and go another 60 years undefeated. We wish him well.
May I have a hint for this one, please? 14 across: Non-Equity presentations shot in the afternoon? (2-4) Letters: A M - - - -The onlything I can think of is AM-DRAM but don't know where the shot or afternoon are.
A shot of whisky is also a dram. And the dram comes after AM i.e. after the morning.
Many thanks. I've also just found out the answer to 7 down which was RHEOSTAT. This I found by googling words beginning with RHeAnd that brings me to just one unfinished answer:20 across: Rodent traps doctor in shoping centre (6)Letters: - A - - O TEven assuming that the first letter might not be R, I just can't find the right combination, so a hint would be much appreciated as usual.
The overall answer is a rodent, an unusual one. It's made up of a name for a shop or shopping centre surrounding an acronym for a doctor. And it doesn't start with R
Hi Susan,Just an anagram of “taint loan”, which does indeed give you NATIONAL plus the T left over to begin the second word. Then you need a four-letter synonym for “corruption”.
Thank you for your help. I'll work on that …ETA: Found last letter of 8 down to be T, so TRUST … … then did 19 laps of the close before the rain started again!
