March Colossus Stinker

Hi farkha!

Serene would have resulted as follows:

50d Strange prophet (strange = anagram, prophet = seer.) = sere
+ includes two points ("points" usually refer to compass points, ie N E S W) = ne

The other all sound fine to me.

Re: March Colossus Stinker
[65a. Showed extreme foresight in battle - Fight
63d. Made every effort to get right into oven - Strove
57d. Cool remote! - Distant

A second reading of your post indicated you wanted confirmation of your choices for the above three. If so -

Extremes of foresight F----IGHT = Fight

Right (R) into oven (stove) = Strove

Cool, remote = two definitions meaning Distant.

If I misread your post, sorry for seeming pedantic.

Hi Farka,

Hope you are well. I second Lezzles' break ups of your clues- she has you in very safe hands.

Hope to talk to you again soon.
Take care my friend, warm regards Butterfly

Hi farkha

Pleased to see the ladies took care of you, we can't do without them when it comes to Cryptics, can we?

Regards Dutchy

Thanks Lezzles, Butterfly for the confirm and Dutchy, you are spot on. You were not being pedantic Lezzles, I did req an explanation for serene- I got the answer without getting the clue!
