    HEXUS Crossword!

    Seeing as Tigs mentioned it - another HEXUS crossword! I've done my best not to make any mistakes with the words here so its not impossible. First person to get them all wins a big kiss from one of the HEXUS ladies, and 7/8ths of a packet of Rich Tea bikkies.

    Sorry if they are too easy \ hard, or the clues are crap, I'm not a professional crosswordist. The answers are a bit of everything: members, gaming stuff, tech stuff, and general modern PC things that us modern PC types know about.

    Don't post any you get in the thread and spoil it for the thickos who are working them out...

    Here it is then.




    Across

    2. Chief character of Nimbus 3. (6,5)
    4. Shoe size C6 (6,9)
    7. Slower than a Hamster. (7,4)
    9. Hidden under bananas. (8)
    13. Grey winner of 5th generation war. (11)
    15. Tea, tea, tea, tea, tea. (5)
    18. Straight from one curse to another. (6,3)
    19. Cetaceans following a personal pronoun. (4)

    Down

    1. u=92. (5)
    3. Hexus! (5)
    5. The people to call for a plumber in Kyoto. (8)
    6. Gossamer everywhere. (5,4,3)
    8. Big 1, Big 20, Little 9. (3)
    10. Gordons Fist Minus The 'Ing'. (5)
    11. Alphabetically, the last Legend. (5)
    12. American Buzzing Insect. (3)
    14. You’ll like this motherboard, but not a lot... (4)
    16. Memory of a French Pirate. (7)
    17. Above the timepiece. (9)
    20. Pwned The Giant. (5)

    Tigs said 'OMG how hard is your crossword' as well.

    Use all your powers of illogical thought and the answers will become clear.

    Re: HEXUS Crossword!

    Hmmm. I have two answers. I will have to print it though, and since I am at work, it's probably best to wait until evening.
