LAST WEEK’S RESULTS:

Title: “To Be Continued”
Instructions: This week’s contest answer is a five-letter adjective that I hope doesn’t apply to this puzzle.
Answer: HO-HUM

Ack! Slept through my alarm this morning so no time for a writeup. Fortunately, solver Mark Goodliffe has provided us with an explanation of the puzzle in this wonderful 11-minute video from across the Pond (if you’d prefer print, Joon’s review is here).

This week’s winner, whose name was chosen at random from the 311 correct entries received, is R.B. In addition to a MGWCC pen, pencil, and notepad set, R.B. will also receive a copy of Henry Hook‘s Munchkin Crosswords (written under the nom de grid Pete Naish). Next week’s winner will receive the same.

THIS WEEK’S INSTRUCTIONS:

There are 11 theme clues/entries in this puzzle, five of which have asterisks. Which of the remaining six is the odd one out? (You can submit either the clue number or its entry.)

Solve well, and be not led astray by words intended to deceive.
