13 Challenges – #13 / 2
Not sure what the 13 Challenges are? Have a look at '13 Challenges'
We were going to London on the train and had planned to buy a Telegraph before setting off. Unfortunately, there were none available so we ended up with this Guardian one.
It is very interesting how different crosswords 'feel' and it takes a while to get into the mind of the person who sets it!
Result is – we didn't finish it!!!
Hopefully you can help with the clues we couldn't manage :-
- 9 Across – Show electronic cable? (6) E _ I _ C _
- 17 Down – Tiny amount of petrol mistakenly offered at under a dollar (7) A _ O _ L _ T (hubby thinks letter 6 is an A)
- 24 Across – Mature bulb regularly coming into flower (6) _ U _ I _ E

24ac must be NUBILE (mature) but I can’t explain it altogether. Anyone?
Many thanks Phil. All answers gratefully received!
9 across I think is Evince. E for electric and vince for the first name of Vince Cable (someone or other in the UK government) and the whole clue means show.
Drew a blank on the other two though. I know what you mean about getting used to a setter. We regularly did the Telegraph crossword but then they seemed to switch to computer setters and now some of them are so odd they really are not interesting.
Great to have your help!
