I am struggling with my last two to solve (20a and 6d), but I will not have 12 "evened" entries which is worrying me more.

Good Afternoon woodlouse, you confused me for a while until I realised that you aren't in a different time zone. Now got 11 "evenings" and only that pesky 6d to solve. Time to go and watch the football and allow my brain to unscramble. I found the gimmick to be rather tricky at times.

6D took me a while and was my penultimate. Think of what bits might mean. Still looking for my funny old man!

Easy when you see it. Thanks for the nudges. I must be getting old.

In case you haven't got it yet Gitto

6 down has limited options for the unchecked letter, particularly having regard to the need for the mean to be an integer. The repeated middle letter shows that the original letters are an equidistant pair

All done now = now back to the football.

This was fun and, unusually, got more challenging as the grid filled; necessitating some back solving of “eveners” from what existed of the “evened” result. But , while I have 3 letters of the result, I’m stumped by 28; a nudge towards the initial answer would be gratefully received.
