Crossword Clips
Stumbled across two more You Tube clips this week, both with a crossword flavour.
The first is Mastermind contestant, Dave Tilley. The guy goes two minutes, answering questions on the history of the crossword, and fares pretty well.
(Mind you, researching a puzzle manuscript of my own at the moment, finishing the draft this month, I also managed a reasonable hit rate. How many will you bag?)
Passing note: just love the smirk when the ‘pseudonym’ question pops up – that inner peace of knowing the solution when the heat is on. (Though don’t apply too much heat to today’s cryptic in the SMH….)
The second clip is comic relief, a short from Hot Fuzz which every adolescent boy and BBQ blatherer says I must see (and eventually will), if only to place this brilliant puzzle scene in context.
Enjoy the black-and-white visions.
