Mike, what happened? A perfect opportunity to...Wow! Mike, what happened? A perfect opportunity to go in for the kill, huh?... hehehe<br /><br />I shall not deny our text message "communications". What's missing from your report here though is that while I do not agree with some of the acceptable words in crosswords dictionaries, I've also said that I will have to accept them as valid anyway. I said I guess it's a matter of enriching my cryptic vocabulary; I said it doesn't matter whether I agree or not; if I am faced with a clue which requires those words which I do not agree with, I will still use them anyway. And therefore, next time I will remember that dirty = blue to solve cryptic clues.<br /><br />Hell, if I must, I will even use COUGHEE to mean COFFEE to solve a cryptic clue in the future! Whether I agree with it or not is a separate matter.<br /><br />And I quoted that I've also seen p = soft or quietly; that I don't agree, but since those are established in crosswords, I will have to reluctantly accept it anyway.<br /><br />Did I not say I respect your opinion; and I'm not forcing you to agree with me? So if you think I am (at best) a "tin kosong", then you have the right to your opinion.<br /><br />"Verbal diarrhoea"!...

I replied to your smarty pants comment...Cornelius,<br /><br />I replied to your smarty pants comment after seeing it two days ago and immediately regretted it. Later a hunter reminded me that "that feller" will go on and on and must always have the last say which I totally agree. I told myself I'll give it 2 nights and see if I still feel strongly about your comment. Here I'm after 2 night.<br /><br />Blue=dirty is listed in my crossword puzzle dict and my normal Oxford thesaurus. And to answer to your question it stands alone. No need to use together with movie to mean dirty.<br /><br />Surprise = well is also listed in my crossword puzzle dict. <br /><br />I've also seen the 2 words being used in many many crosswords by established setters.<br /><br />You should check your facts before commenting. <br /><br />From our recent communications, you indicated that blue can only be dirty if paired with movie. Blue itself is not dirty.<br /><br />You also disagree that p=soft. To you p in MUSIC is soft. P itself is not soft. What about love=0? should we now write Love in tennis =0?<br /><br />The point here is that you to my surprise don't agree with many of the cryptic standard such as the above that are staple in any crossword puzzles. You keep insisting these are created by COCs in KL. <br /><br />I used to believe you when u said you comment to educate, now I think you go from blog to blog to prove you are a better cryptic solver (and setter)than everyone else using your own understanding not based on acceptable cryptic standard. At best you are a very pretty tin kosong.<br /><br />Sad.<br /><br />VK, i'm expecting a verbal diarrhoea reply to this. So sorry.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08292297502943039622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873728714349694734.post-75900911877220446272010-12-04T11:31:40.566+08:002010-12-04T11:31:40.566+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08292297502943039622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873728714349694734.post-57236023649745446672010-12-03T10:00:08.986+08:002010-12-03T10:00:08.986+08:00yes!- mikeyes!- mikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873728714349694734.post-45876163120856383472010-12-02T22:01:13.615+08:002010-12-02T22:01:13.615+08:00Hmmm... hard to tell from such limited information...Hmmm... hard to tell from such limited information. Maybe it has a lot to do with the hunt conditions. So many factors could've affected the teams.<br /><br />Teams could have been hit by the fact that the CoC used the very latest and most comprehensive Thesaurus, for example - one that equates SURPRISE to WELL.<br /><br />Or maybe it could have been a simple case of forgetfulness on the part of the hunters, in the sense that they forgot the possibility of equating words of different meanings which are unfortunately connected by a bridge that have changed the original meaning. For example,<br /><br />BLUE = HAVING PORNOGRAPHIC CONTENTS;<br /><br />and<br /><br />HAVING PORNOGRAPHIC CONTENTS = DIRTY;<br /><br />So that for the purpose of KL hunts,<br /><br /><b>BLUE</b> is equal to <b>DIRTY</b><br /><br />even though actually it does not.<br /><br />And sometimes, cryptic indicators may be questionable. A word which might not pass as an anagram indicator, for example, used by the CoC as one.<br /><br />Teams might have found something else which could also fit the clues. That, of course, had happened many times in the past.<br /><br />I guess what I'm trying to say is that I probably can analyse much better if I were there hunting that day.Corneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049388322332876859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873728714349694734.post-82199325758843761042010-12-02T17:33:18.796+08:002010-12-02T17:33:18.796+08:00WINNERS: Q3 & Q9
