Hi mamya
Well done - I was baffled on these. What do you think the "once" is doing in the clue for 2D I assume it is LEAR(n), but once implies LEAR(nt), doesn't it?

but...

pick up once could be learn , hence LEAR(n) last discarded

Thanks for your thoughts, mamya. It is possibly just a bit sloppy clueing - I think it works as well without the "once".
