Welcome to CLUE CHAIN.

The idea is to start with a cryptic clue - set by me this week.

The first correct solver, judged by the setter, is then invited to offer their clue and so on.

Once you have solved and then set a clue you cannot answer again for the time being - see below.

15 min time limit per clue and if not solved the setter must declare the clue 'open' and everybody can play again.

If an open clue is not solved quickly the setter should offer hints until someone can solve and continue.

Game usually finishes about 6pm. If you would like to start CLUE CHAIN please volunteer next Monday.

This week's opening clue is:
Did they select Ronald Reagan in part for this tiny charge? (8)

electron?

Correct, bobsmum - your go.

Graduate meets trick meat (5)

BACON

Yep yr turn, looks like just us at the mo so shall we keep playing until others join in ?

I turn one out – it’s common but difficult to detect (8)

Is anyone out there following this in addition to bobsmum and me? (If I don't hear soon I'll declare it open, bobsmum.)

OPEN

is it NEUTRINO ?????

Indeed it is, bobsmum. Shall we press on, or wait to see if someone else turns up?
