Here’s the fifth grid in 1AC’s Gridfest, a part of the group’s third anniversary celebrations.

All participants must complete the online interactive version and submit it along with answers to the questions that will be displayed on submission.

Please remember to “save” the puzzle as you work, so as to answer the questions at the end.

The deadline for submissions is midnight ( IST) of  30th of September 2017.  Annotations for the puzzle will be discussed at 1ACross starting from October 1, 2017.

The results announcing the best grid and the top solvers will be made on 15th October.

Both the winners (top setter and the top solver) will receive a personalized copy of our book “Cryptic Crossroads – Now on Amazon”

There should not be any discussions relating to the puzzles and/or solutions during the contest. Anyone who contravenes this will be disqualified.

The Organizer’s decisions are final and binding.

Happy solving.
