My first thought was "sporadic" but it's only 8 letters. :)

I'm thinking: former = ex mushroom = cap turn sex appeal = sxap reversed = paxs atop = paxsexcap which doesn't really mean anything AFAIK

Exception former = ex cep = a type of edible mushroon Sex appeal = it, and turns = ti atop = on An exception is a non-standard occurance

And that is the Correct Answer! Well done, and the solution was spot on too.

1.33/5 (2 votes) Is this calculation right?

I enjoy the 'pun runs', since I'm both a runner and an irredeemable punster. I usually don't see the CCC's in time before a solution is posted, so I've never given them a serious try.

Just so you know, I voted you a 5 to compensate for the 1's. I thought your rejoinder was funny :-D.

I found that one very easy but I'm almost never early enough to log on. My only hesitation was caused by the ugly Americanism (sorry, friends) of "atop" and the just plain wrong "occurance" (occurrence). Since CCCs are all about being picky with words I feel justified in pointing this out!

It's a weighted average so yes it could have been right.

DD sometimes does skip out of the pure mother tongue. It makes them more cryptic which is probably he's aim. But it's just not British IMHO!
