This series comes from my own observations, talking with other solvers and from lots of solving! I recommend two excellent blogs where crossword solutions are discussed - <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/times_xwd_times" rel="nofollow">Times for the Times</a> and <a href="http://fifteensquared.net/" rel="nofollow">Fifteensquared</a>. That&#39;s where I learnt about Ninas. I learnt about &quot;checking&quot; from Chaturvasi long ago, on the <a href="http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#Community?cmm=770537" rel="nofollow">Orkut THC forum</a>.<br /><br />I blog on Fifteensquared too on Fridays. In case you solve the FT crossword, you might want to visit: http://fifteensquared.net/author/shuchi/<br /><br />Saw the Nina in the 2nd grid yet?Shuchihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01255928672885834649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025878547150944281.post-58053181471757298072009-10-10T10:53:12.784+05:302009-10-10T10:53:12.784+05:30Ah the full monty :) awesomeThe MEANDERthal manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04949054105962074846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025878547150944281.post-23888996447295554572009-10-10T10:18:36.776+05:302009-10-10T10:18:36.776+05:30Monty Python&#39;s Flying Circus :)Ganesh T Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15957137699259998423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025878547150944281.post-62084718492143779462009-10-10T09:59:53.506+05:302009-10-10T09:59:53.506+05:30Amazed!
