Tuesdays CCC

Easier than yesterday's. "Economic woes currently follows anaesthetic, then hesitates to produce a super Computer?" (6,8) This shouldn't take long, and I think I know who will solve it first! (I won't say, just in case it puts pressure on that person, but I will say later if I was right or wrong!) Good luck all. SELF MOD - oops moment, I put 6,7 it should read 6,8!

anasthetic

Did you mean "anaesthetic"? ;)

I did edit it quite quickly, but not quickly enough it seems!

I thought it was Number Cruncher at first, but it didn't fit. Do'h! It is Number something I am pretty sure.

Look again, I think you're spot on! Credit crunch etc...

Dalek Dave

Steve, put him out his misery, I know you got it, He got it first, but he doesn't have the solution. Fill him in, I cannot act in this.

And Dave can't count! :laugh: "Economic woes currently follows anaesthetic, then hesitates to produce a super Computer?" (6,8 not 7) Anaesthetic = number economic woes = crunch hesitates = er

hairy_hats

Done. I was thinking of "ether" as the anaesthetic but "ethernet" was too long and I got stuck!

Dalek Dave

Put SOLUTION in your subject line. Well done (with help). (Although, Economic Woes Currently is Crunch. I try to ensure EVERY word is used)

Phil Martin

The downside of course is Cruncher is eight letters rather than seven :)

Dalek Dave

You have the Right answer and get a load of Bonus Man Points, but you didn't give the solution. Number Cruncher is right, see below for Solution).

I was originally clueing as Crunchers, (I was going with Cray Twins) had cruncher in mind (eight leters) took the S off crunchers and obviously arrived at 7! Tuesdays Brain seems to be firing on 3 cylinders! Apologies for Dim Setter Problem.

No, Phil got the answer, but you got the solution.

Picky. ;P

Phil Martin

Very picky! In my locality answer and solution mean the same thing :) Next time I'll post my working (or in Dalek Exterminator Speak - my solution :) )

Phil Martin

Ahh I see. My mistake. I didn't know I was supposed to. I shall be more complete in future. Oh, and try to get the letter count correct next time :)
