Mr Red	BS: Crosswords (51* d)	RE: BS: Crosswords	16 Sep 18
When I was job-hunting I was told that a mostly completed crossword with the answers scribbled as if unsure on the side was a plus point in interviews. Displayed everso nonchalantly! So I used to do the Telegrope cryptic. The one day I got all but one clue, and was about to put the last answer when I was called for interview. It wasn't a job, it was to (successfully) become MIEE. The first words the interviewer said was -"did you finish the crossword". SUSSED in one! It was unusual to get so far, but I was kept waiting and hyped-up, mostly I got about halfway. These days I eschew crosswords and prefer to write computer programs. Infinitely more challenging, and there is no prescribed answer. But plenty of alternatives, and many road-blocks. I think I am up to 200K JavaScript across 10 websites. And unmeasured back-end stuff at home, to automate things.
