Anyone got any ideas as to the cryptic parts of 12 and 13. My answers are RECON and NEED-BE respectively.Any help gratefully received.

Those of us without the paper can't help unless you give us the clues.

12a recon, Ive no idea
13a needbe, I took it as 'sounds like' knead-bea.
there are no 'incorrect letters' in these 2 clues

Can anyone help with the graph bit? I have coordinates (2,10) and (7,1) but I have no idea what to do with them.

For 12 - About in three ways is RE, C and ON. Now back to that devilish finish - it's driving me mad!!

I've filled in the grid and got all the misprints - how did you get to the coordinates?

In the across clues the misprints were N/Y, P/X, S/X, U/Y, E/X AND T/X. These rearrange to give (Sept, Un) French for (7,1). I may be totally wrong of course...... Similar reasoning for the down clues gives (Two, Ten). Can anyone confirm?

using the bottom of the grid as the x axis and the left of the grid as the y axis, (with bottom left hand corner as zero) draw a line between the two coordinates, every cell
the line goes through gives the letters required for the answer to the first question.
There is a similar shaped block of letters elsewhere in the grid which gives the answer
to the second question.

Thanks but having trouble deciding which intersections to use for the end points. Are the end points themselves used in the jumbles?

there are thirteen letters in the answer to the first question.
