OK, don't look! This is (almost) full version with just a few nicks missing.

6 Hurkyl, 7 Kurdt, 1 Borek

It is ready since full hour, I just couldn't upload it to the server :cry:

26. Heels broke in the afternoon - returned.

broken heels = HESLE
in the afternoon = PM, and then returned = MP

M(HESLE)P = broken heels inside the returned afternoon

Nooo! Hide the picture. People will look at it even if you tell them not to. Just give me your 5 grid locations. I've got three so far.

Correct. Nice work.
 
21 vanesh, 23 Moonbear. I can't see what have been posted, each refresh takes several minutes :frown: Picture changed just to link, sorry, I haven't read the rules. At least I was able to edit my previous post.

I wonder when this one will appear...

Correct. I will fill these in shortly. (EDIT: done)

PS: I would appreciate if you put that link in a spoiler tag or made it more clear that it has filled in grid boxes.

sorry I thought 5 per post

Andre and Borek have both used their 5 grid calls - both of you take a time out for 3 hours.

PS: Andre, thanks for the edit.

Yup! That's right.
 
For 10 across:

30. Meh ... cooties is gone, somehow.

MEH ... COOTIES with "IS" gone is MEH...COOTE
rearranged (somehow) yields OM CHEETO

I knew that 4 down was PROTONSOUP and that's what helped me figure it out.
 
I'd like to solve the puzzle:
(DON'T LOOK AT THIS IF YOU STILL WANT TO SOLVE FOR YOURSELF)

Nice! Both developments noted.

blah bloo blum
Neo, this isn't Wheel...

Others are not going to feel like posting if it might look like they just copied. It would be greatly appreciated if people didn't post answers beyond the posted limit.

Thanks!

Don't remember what you had. PM me. I'll tell you.

Yippeee!
How many of each have you left?


So, were down to one final unsolved clue and I didn't think it would be a difficult one. Who was it with all the high scores in the Literature quizzes in the Trivia Game? Was it Chi? This should be a piece of cake for Chi!

Good Contest Gokul!

It was fun.

I think I have 1 left for solving and 2 left for crossword positions.

Two crazy conjunctions followed by one.
Bump. This isn't part of the contest, but I thought you might like to try it. It's easier than the contest entries.

Ooh! I didn't even make a clue for him this time. Good thing you made this one.
 
I've got to take off in a bit...and I'd like to finish this up. So the rules are all relaxed now. Everyone gets an infinite number of this and a similar number of that.

After a few minutes, I'll probably only get back to this after about 12 hrs.
