WITH MY HUMBLE APOLOGIES! I have added a couple of hours extra
till closing time!

Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue setting competition.

The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word or phrase.

The winner of the previous week's competition both sets the word to be clued and judges entries for the current week.

The judge's decision is final and reasons may or may not be given at the judge's discretion. It is customary for the judge to award a virtual prize to the winner.

Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome.

Clues should be submitted by 08:00 pm on Wednesday 3rd of January 2018 with the winner to be announced shortly after.

The answer to be clued is:
MAGNIFICIENT (12)

Have fun and Please explain your clue!!!

Murphy's Law in action. Any post pointing out a misprint will itself contain a misprint! "final" of course - the standard spelling over here is MAGNIFICENT....
