"When does honourable asking for assistance turn into dishonourable cheating?" Only the individual will know, of course. However, the basic question remains. What is the point of so-called "solving", when it is being done by somebody else? If people are really only interested in finding out the answer, why not wait until the solution is published next week? TREVOR. It would be nice to think that the increase in requests for help with the weekend cryptics was down to their greater level of difficulty, or to the fact that more people put aside time for solving on Saturdays and Sundays. This misguided soul who has posted all the answers at once is only cutting to the chase, as often they all end up here on line anyway. Indeed if the "You don't have to look" lobby are right, it would solve a lot of time and effort for many people, if this mass publication of the answers was posted every week with an obvious SPOILER ALERT.
