    10%?, some people were looking for nearly half the answers I reckon. Still, all of the answers must have been posted at this stage (some several times). Same for the Chequered Flag one. As you say somebody could be stuck on 1/2 which is fair enough, but..... It appears that the challenge (and ensuing satisfaction) of trying and completing crosswords is long gone - the Times/Indo may as well post the answers at the bottom of the page and let people simply copy them in.

    I agree, the satisfaction of doing it yourself is long gone. I mean, I'm 16 and I found this crossword relatively easy, had some help from dad on the questions from before my time but other than that I did it myself. It looks like Internet has overtaken crosswords.
