Just a note - if you printed this off (as I did) before 12 noon it might be an idea to revisit the Guardian site, as it has been updated (eg 4 down now shows as (3,3) rather than (6) which is what my printed version still had.

prospero:
'except that 8 should say 8,15,14'

Really? 15D, presumably, if the word counts are right. But then what's the clue for 14A, and what's the clue for 15D doing there? Is it a straight swop?

I think prospero meant 16d not 15d!

well, that makes a big difference - thank you - unfortunately i@d already submitted on the assumption the numbering was right ....

So many apparent errors, it's hard to tell!

Hang on, I'm confused now! Is it 8,16,4 as it originally seemed to be but as it DIDN'T say in the clue for 8?

Or are you saying there's an error here?

yes, 16 - sorry!

Oh, OK. Well done for finishing!

I had a quick look over lunch and did a few answers but haven't worked out the 30 thing yet (group of brass monkeys lacking vitality (4)). The only answer which sprang to mind after this morning's fiasco had 5 letters...

It is a bit confusing...I had a perfectly plausible answer for 21D(8) before I realised 21D is (1,4,3)

Luckily I got that right - assuming it could also be written as an (8) - but with all these revisions I think there should be a re-start!
