Thanks. Got the E to go before L but wonder if I need a k? Thinking of famous geometry names.

Hi fgsltw, or may we call you Fg?

No K. We do indeed want a geometer, but there is a second word as well, a geometrical one unsurprisingly.

Thanks Gitto - I hadn't read the first word as a verb!

Thanks rad for help so far. Got the theme now. Still looking for second shape.

Excellent puzzle but I'm no mathematician so I shan't be attempting the final bit.

Just one unresolved issue - where does the omitted "N" come from?

Bobby Collins it is from clue beginning appropriate. Can anyone help me with second shape. What letter do I need? I have the x one.

I am just starting this.
Any help with these two appreciated:

They separate paper strips into sheets, left over
right for wallpaper hangers, say (11)

Band leader with curt experience of soprano:
they’re moved to alter pitch (10)

Do the down clues begin with Remove over, this country.....?

Thanks.

Hello Sunray.

The down clues do indeed start with that one, as dictated by the symmetry of the across clue lengths.

I back-solved those two clues, I had never encountered either of the answers before.

I would suggest solving the other two 11 letter clues and it will not take much more to see the grid falling into place

Thanks woodlouse.
You can stil lgive me a little hint on those two.
I think I solved the The dark clue. It begins with B and ends in T.
I have still not solved the other 11 letter clue. Is it an anagram?
