Yep.
Currently unsolved from page 2:
Mine:
Martian country missing its premier is a state of isolation. (10)
Amrussel’s:
Scots sailor goes in reverse on this surface (6)
And I’ll add another:
Well-informed little Edward repeatedly shelters university pet. (8)
Also still unsolved from page 2:
Mr. Zotti scoffed after introduction to Straight Dope (6)
Cafe Society sent into orbit, surprisingly (6)
Ximenean: You correctly solved mine.
Answer:
EDUCATED
Explanation:
little (nickname for) Edward = ED
Repeatedly = ED ED
shelters (contains) U (university) CAT (pet)
“well-informed” thus = EDUCATED
New clue:
Five hundred Romans insult mythical beast (6)
Sedate ( ED ATE after S (introduction to ‘Straight’) )
Bistro ( S (Society) sent into BITRO) )Nice clues, Ximenean.
DRAGON
D (Five hundred) + RAG ON (insult)
Though, the “Romans” part isn’t necessarily needed, since Roman numerals converting to letters are part of the standard paradigm.
And you correctly got mine.
Another enactment of an activity undertaken mainly for fun or therapy. (10)
I’m going to try loneliness
Explanation[spoiler]Damned if I know. But I figure there’s a country name in there, that’s had its first letter taken away, then anagrammed.
HELP![/spoiler]
Nope. It’s actually a lot more straightforward than that.
And there is no anagramming involved.
Argh I finally got it:ALIENATIONI’m amazed I had so much trouble figuring that one out.
“Devil’s cool, right in - Fokker!” (11)
Tired riddle: “Words ending in -gry” (6)
The condo members misunderstood silly quacks’ claim (4, 4)
Ohio pallbearer’s inside information is found here listed third (2, 4)
Heh. Very nice, especially the first one.
Yet another thematic one:
Answer expresses regret about leading character in Great Debates (6)
Or how about :
Leading character in Great Debates liked girl, I hear (7)
In My Humble Opinion is a weighty read (4)
Park on the driveway …and one parks on the runway (5)
Ophelia missing point about item no. 3 (2, 4)
Tired riddle: “Words ending in -gry” (6)
DROWSYWORDS anagrammed (“riddle”, verb), followed by the ending of “-gry”. Brilliant.
The condo members misunderstood silly quacks’ claim (4, 4)
DON’T ECHOanagram (“misunderstood”?) of “The condo”. Ducks’ quacks don’t echo, another classic SDMB reference
Ohio pallbearer’s inside information is found here listed third (2, 4)
HI OPALthe “information” is inside oHIO PALlbearer
TOME
I get that Ophelia without the “e” anagrams to HI OPAL, is “missing point” another anagram clue? And then “about” refers to the “e” being in the middle of the anagram? Sorry, I’m still new to these.
yevgeny, ‘point’ in a cryptic clue often indicates a point of the compass (N, E, S or W). ‘About’ is the anagram indicator.
