In the last 5 days you have stagnated. This is the way most croswords are designed. 80% of the clues in 20% of time, 20% in 80% of time or you may never get. So the difficulty level is just right! Hence no easy clues required.
I am so glad you got syuck on the "most important questions". Disappointed you didn't get 11D.
Good show boy, keep the show going!
I'll predict the final scoreline now itself ( I like McGrath u see ) RCB 7 - 0 Opponents.... coz, i can't complete a crossword....
If u r keeping count like " who gets most points" , then may be i have a chance, because, i've topped Crosswords 1 and 2.... But, well , i'm not really gud or anything.... so, even if i predict a scoreline for the condition i stated it'll be RCB 4 - 3 Opponents.... meaning... you'kk still win... ;)
Actually, we can make a 7 round game out of this.
Every Crossword represents a match RCB is playing as per IPL2010 schedule! You can take help from others trying this here by asking them for help!
I represent RCB, you represent the RCB opponent.
If you fail to get all correct, RCB has won the match. If you get all correct, RCB has lost that match. Based on this:
Crossword 1 eqvt to RCB vs KKR - RCB won
Crossword 2 - RCB vs KXI - RCB won
Crossword 3 - RCB vs RR - RCB won
Crossword 4 - RCB vs MI - match is on! You have a huge advantage now, but the last 4 wickets won't fall easily!!
So RCB has done well on the whole, but have a fight on hands against MI!
