  1. Although you think ‘Oh it’s a Radler’ and you need a lie down after just reading the instructions, it turns out to be one of his easier puzzles and an enjoyable time was had.

    He very kindly doesn’t send his MPP candidates to me to test which means I can enter the competition too. :)

    1. Grown man crying time again, have had a really good go at this and have got three answers, and I’m not sure about them. Still will persevere.

  2. Joie de vivre? Au contraire!

    Not enjoying this at all – c’est trop difficile pour moi! But I will struggle on!

  3. Memo to self …….read instructions 3 times before undertaking MPP ,particularly a Radler ,
    Took ages even after I’d caught on which did not come swiftly !
    Worth it for one major penny dropping moment which has left my desk with an imprint of my forehead !
    Off for a kip !

  4. That was fun. Impossible until I had worked out what was going on and then manageable, but never easy. I re-read the instructions and re-checked the result 4 times before submitting.
    Thanks Radler.

  5. What fun but what a beastie.
    I started yesterday with the mind set that I usually have when attempting a Toughie “I know I can’t do Toughies/ Radler crosswords but what the hell – have a go”!
    I read the instructions and was none the wiser – read through all the clues and managed a couple of answers but it wasn’t until I got to the very last one, 28d, that I thought I might have an inkling of what was going on.
    This is way beyond my ability – I don’t remember ever spending so long on a crossword – have now finished apart from four – it’s ‘doing my head in’ but now I can’t leave it alone!
    With thanks, I think, to Radler, but I’m not sure that husband would agree!

  6. I thought this was quite good fun. Once I realised what was going on, it was fairly straightforward to complete (he says hoping that he hasn’t got it all wrong :) )
    Many thanks to Radler.
