    Owoowiie! You are missing, that is called being "kewl".
    Even I wonder, what is one saving from such incomprehensible and compact writing unless they are typing on a 2x2 inch screen using a 1x1 keyboard.

    Me thinks: How does one consciously choose to type "Cn Dis E1 B Possible?" overcoming semantic memory that involves more effort?

    I realize I've affinity for Deeps' oblique and lo-o-o-ong clues than Soka's direct and slam-bang clues. Some faulty wiring in my brain :shock:


    Gauri's puzzles are as steady as a funambulist!


    Lets try one of your marginally oblique puzzles, up for it? ;-)

    Answer to "Name her" puzzle: Mary Seacole

    Clue1 (Trivia) # She was quoted as an example of "hidden" black history in Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses, like Olaudah Equiano: "See, here is Mary Seacole, who did as much in the Crimea as another magic-lamping lady, but, being dark, could scarce be seen for the flame of Florence's candle.


    Clue2 (Profession)# Order of the Nurse like Florence Nightingale.


    Clue3 (Spells)# Some rocks ashore that look like coal to visualize her last name "SeaCole"

    1. Virgil did not stop at "I sing of arms and of a man", he gifted us few more lines that have entered English hoard of adages.
