Nicola dawn, agree, 26 was also my LOI, even though “Man” is on my list of words to be immediately suspicious of!

A very nice Quiptic puzzle today if anyone fancies another challenge, set by a firm forum favourite, Picaroon

Thanks Jono. Two of the greatest hiddens I've ever seen in that Quiptic! I don't understand how 'current' gives I, though (13D). Any ideas ?

You need to recall your o level physics. Ohm’s law…
V=IR where I is electrical current.

I have solved 12 clues which I’m pretty chuffed with.

All the other clues are gibberish to me.

Can I ask for some hints with 3a and 10a please?

I am ashamed to say that I don’t know 9a, even though I have R?C?

Ahh. O level physics was a complete mystery to me. Got a B. I've still no idea how.

Druh - you're looking for a synonym for clairvoyance, foresight, etc. that can be split in two - 3, 6. If you put a hyphen between the two parts, you'll get a description of the Dark Ages.

3a parses 3,7. The definition is clairvoyance and the reference to the dark ages just means a very long time ago.

10a a six letter word for infernal and a two letter abbreviation for the exercise you did at school. Then one letter for time inserted and one letter for son at the end.

9a loud generally indicates f (from forte). So a word for dress with the f removed.

10A Definition is 'these could be positive (or negative)'. The rest of the clue is a bit too complicated to provide hints, but try swearing (mildly). That might help!

Twisted myself in knots for a while in the top right by assuming very early that 4d included "des" as plain text around a "1?" pound note, giving a perfectly plausible answer for "tells one".
