Reverse-engineering the Two Ronnies crossword sketch

Among the catalogue of classic sketches by the late and much-missed Two Ronnies, sits this little piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVWdbO6FFfw

Give it a watch all the way through then come back here.

Done? Okay.

Being of a cruciverbal mindset, it occurred to me to try and see whether the clues Ronnie Corbett’s character was struggling with could actually be worked into a plausible grid. When writers have characters doing crosswords, they often throw out clue numbers willy-nilly, without paying much attention to their structural plausibility – something I found pretty quickly when I tried to reverse-engineer The Owl crossword from Jasper Fforde’s Lost in a Good Book (but that’s a post for another time).

Ronnie reads out the text of seven clues. In four of these, he’s already got some letters in. Can we assume that’s because those letters are from crossing answers? The only alternative, that they (or at least some of them) are “givens” (i.e. actually printed in the grid by the publisher) is too dull to contemplate for the purposes of this (admittedly silly anyway) exercise, so let’s assume they are from crossing answers.

For three of the clues, we are told the actual clue position and number.

This, in essence, is what we have to go on:

2ac. They peck holes in your milk-bottle tops (4). ? ? T S

6ac. Often found in the bottom of a birdcage (4). ? ? I T

16ac. It’s green and often found on football pitches (5). G R A ? ?

??. It’s red, it smells, and it’s often picked in the garden (4). ? O S E

??. Place where fish are kept (4).

?ac. Strange animal found in a hive (5,3).

?dn. He always plays with Big Ears (5).

We are told that the fifth letter of the penultimate of these crosses with the first letter of the last of these.

For the fifth clue, Ronnie Barker’s character mocks Corbett’s for having filled in “coop” (or “Co-Op”) but doesn’t suggest a correction, and we’re not told what letter or letters he might have had in already. There are plenty of four-letter possibilities for where fish might be kept – tank, bowl, pond, maybe even pool – and note that many of them share the second letter “O” with Corbett’s guess, so let’s make it one of those (instead of “tank”) and make the second letter check with another crossing word.

For the sixth and seventh clues, Barker’s character confirms that the correct answers should be “queen bee” and “Noddy” (not “queer bee” and “Roddy”).

Let’s make one more basic assumption: since this is in a daily newspaper (Corbett describes it as the “Sun Junior Coffee-Time Easy Clues”), it should abide by the normal standards of crossword symmetry. That is to say, most likely 180° rotational symmetry. We initially don’t know the dimensions or style of the grid, but it’s not likely to be huge. If we start trying to construct a grid that would take these clues in the positions indicated, come constraints quickly start to show themselves.

Firstly, if there’s a 2 across, we can pretty much rule out there being a 1 across (since it would have to have no more than the first letter checked), so 1 is a down answer only.

Secondly, note that we have the third and fourth letters of 2ac in already – T S. Likewise the second, third and fourth letters of that “It’s red…” clue; the first, second and third letters of that “It’s green…” clue, and so on. Multiple consecutive checked letters? Well, for a blocked-grid crossword you might be able to envisage that somewhere in the middle of the diagram, but 2ac is clearly in the top row (and 6ac very likely is as well). No – this is sounding distinctly like a barred-grid puzzle. This puts our own meta-joke layer on top of those intended by the writers, since barred-grid puzzles are normally used for advanced/difficult puzzles (probably akin to the “Financial Times Mephistopheles” that Ronnie Barker is trying to concentrate on), and peppered with recondite vocabulary – not the sort of thing one might describe as a “Junior Coffee-Time Easy Clues”.

So my initial attempt to fit the answers we know into the positions we know, gave me something like this:

A bit of careful work with the grid-filler function and we can populate the rest of the diagram with a mix of common, harder, and obscure words typical of the barred-grid puzzle.

But we have a problem. Look at 16ac: the two letters that Corbett says he hasn’t got (the fourth and fifth) are parts of 3dn and 4dn – which also supply the last two letters of 2ac, the very two letters that he says he has got. If he’s solved 3dn and 4dn, then he’ll have both sets of these final letters, and if he hasn’t, then he’ll have neither. This arrangement of bars can’t support both scenarios. Therefore, if 16ac is going to be positioned there on the left side of the grid, we need bars above those letters, making 3dn and 4dn both three-letter words. We need to think again about the position of the bars.

Because we need to have the last two letters of 2ac not give away the last two letters of 16ac, and we need the second letter of 16ac not to give away the first letter of 2ac, those parts of those two words need to be cut off from each other by bars, and that in turn means adding more three-letter words into the grid. There are already going to be quite a few of them, and we really want to keep the number down as best we can (because it’s poor form in crossword setting to have too many three-letter words), so this means removing bars in other areas of the grid to make longer words (making sure as we go along that we don’t introduce or delete bars that would change the clue number for “grass”). That in turn increases the likelihood that we will have to accept some pretty obscure words.

In the next screenshot I’ve marked the given words in green, the known letters in blue, and then re-done the pattern of bars preparatory to trying another grid fill.

So – having filled the grid (and yes, as was inevitable, there are a few obscurities – but actually fewer than I expected) – it’s time to write the remaining clues. So, do we attempt to give all the other words “easy clues” like the ones the Ronnies read out? Or do we contrast those seven with cryptics more in keeping with the style of grid?

I went for cryptic clues in keeping with the style of the grid, and then decided to omit the clues for the seven given words and get the solvers to seek out the sketch for themselves (I circled the letters ‘TWO RONNIES’ in the grid to give a nudge in the right direction). Okay, link to the puzzle here: http://crossword.info/skirwingle/coffeetime/

Next here’s a long scrolly bit so you don’t see the answers by mistake. (see you after the dots)

Let’s have a look at the words I fitted around the givens, and separate them out by vocabulary difficulty:

EVERYDAY WORDS (26)

legato, onus, duty, wands, liaise, atomic clock, press, dandy, sail, Eileen, slay, ted, tat, sty, grain, tussocks, aspen, guano, rotundas, Simeon, obese, quest, email, Rio, old, eel

IN-BETWEEN OR GUESSABLE WORDS (6)

unmoor (to cast off moorings), Indic (the Indian branch of Indo-European languages), nailer (a maker of nails!), sri (an Indian title roughly equivalent to Mr.), cep (a mushroom), ryes (slightly unusual plural of the grain or the whiskey derived from it)

“HARD” WORDS (4)

irenicon (same as eirenicon – a peace-making scheme)

odal (same as udal – an Orkney or Shetland estate without feudal superior – possibly the most obscure word in the grid, and therefore the one most in need of a simple clue that gives you the necessary letters – such as a hidden or initials clue; thankfully 75% of it is checked by down words)

alogia (inability to speak, due to a brain lesion)

kisans (Indian peasants – probably the next most obscure word, and only 50% checked, so again in need of a plain clue)

I don’t think that’s too bad! If you add the “hard” words to the in-between words, that’s still less than half as many as regular familiar words (and then there are the seven original answers from the sketch as well).

Two “Unusual” Cerebrovascular Risk Factors: A Not- Easy Assessment. The Opinion of The Cardiogeriatric Physician

Authored by  Valerio Massimo Magro

A 48-year-old female patient, former smoker. We found a hypoechoic nodular formation specimen with speculated margins, with a 12mm major axis, identified on the screening radiograph. Next FNAB (BIRADS 5) and diagnosis by the echo-assisted core biopsy of right “no special type” infiltrating breast cancer undergoing to a superior right quadrantectomy and ipsilateral lymphadenectomy. At histological examination, presence of moderate differentiation, vascular emboli and perineural infiltration; staging, sec. Elton Ellis pT1-G2; N0; Mx. Immunohistochemical profile: ER 90%, PGR 80%, Ki67 5%; HER2 score 3+. The patient started on therapy with cyclophosphamide 960mg, eirenicon 144mg, dexamethasone 12mg, pantoprazole 20mg, ondansetron 8mg, folia 5mg, paracetamol 1g, fosaprepitant meglumine 150mg, peg filgrastim 6mg. At the control, discrete general conditions (with a slight anamnestic dyspnea), good vital signs and blood tests, EKG trace in the limits. At the transthoracic echocardiogram, “normal atrial (atrial diameter 3.2cm-right atrial area: 16.2cm2) and left and right ventricular dimensions, norm kinesis and good ejection fraction (EF > 50%); mitral-tricuspid and pulmonary insufficiency were shown. PAPs approx. 50mm Hg. Normal caliber of lower cava vein (1.7cm), collapsed with breath acts. An aneurysm of the interatrial septum (IAS) was also found with significant patency of the IAS and a left-right shunt (Figure 1). After collegial review, we decided to send the patient to perform the test with the microbubbles for a better definition of the case and the decision of a possible interventional or pharmacological therapy (anticoagulant), the latter being preferred.

WORD OF THE WEEK  Eirenicon: A proposal of peace and solidarity

 WALLET RAFFLE  The Friends of the Library are raffling off two hand-made men’s leather wallets. Tickets are $1 each and there will be two winners.  Both drawings will be held on February 3rd, so don’t miss your chance.  The wallets can be viewed on top of the long display case next to the front desk.

 MOVIE NIGHT  We’ll be watching the adventures of a blue animated fish this Thursday the 19th at 5:30 PM.  Join us for popcorn, soda, and fun.

 CRAFT  We’ll be making stained “glass” mandalas out of old CDs, paint, and ink next Thursday the 26th at 5 PM.

AUTHOR BIRTHDAYS  Celebrate the fantastic and the mysterious this month with Edgar Allan Poe, Wilkie Collins, Charles Perrault, J. R. R. Tolkien, Terry Brooks, Lewis Carrol, Jack London, Virginia Woolf, and Isaac Asimov.   For something scientific and fantastic, check out one of Stephen Hawking’s works, or for spiritual exploration try the works of Catholic mystic Thomas Merton.

 REGULAR PROGRAMS  Music and Movement for toddlers is Tuesday at 10 AM.  Story Time for ages 3 – 6, with picture books and crafts, falls on Wednesday and Saturday at 10:30 AM this month.  Drop-in computer help hours will be Saturday the 21st from 11 AM – 12 PM and Tuesday the 24th from 6 PM – 7 PM.  Call the library or check out our website for all the details on all of our upcoming events.  

 JUST ARRIVED  This week we have new novels by Alex Kava, Jefferson Bass, and Chris Bohjalian.  Over in nonfiction, look for artistic inspiration in a new biography of Claude Monet entitled Mad Enchantment or create your own style with Draw Fashion Now.  If your interests are more culinary, fix up some cold-weather treats with Purely Pumpkin or feed your family with our new allergen-free cookbook, Nourishing Meals.  Interested in delving into the past?  We have a variety of options.  Go Biblical with The Quest for Mary Magdalene, travel even further back with Why the Wheel is Round, gain an understanding of modern history by studying the Crusades in God’s Armies, peer into Victorian secrets with Unmentionable, or try to figure out what makes our country tick in American Philosophy: A Love Story.  Finally, brush up on your folklore from across the world and read up on The Phoenix.  For college-bound teens, we have up-to-date study guides for the SAT, the ACT, and several AP exams.  We also have guides to scholarships, colleges, and potential majors to help you make the most of your college search and career.

 We welcome your QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS, PURCHASE REQUESTS, AND PROGRAMMING IDEAS.  Contact us at 312 Washington Street, [email protected], 393-4325, or through any of our social media sites (you can do a search for Ogdensburg Public Library, or find the links on our website, ogdlib.org.)

WEEKLY HOURS are 9 AM to 8 PM Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, and 9 AM to 5 PM on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.  We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at your library!

eirenicon replied to your post:hurricane matthew is coming and i have never been...

Oh man, that sounds scary! I know you’re probably prepared, but maybe have a bag of essentials (food, medication, clean water, clothes etc) ready to grab just in case you need to haul it quick! Stay safe, my thoughts are with you, for little that’s worth.

ahh thanks so much! i will, and i think im prepared, but you know. fear of the unknown and all that.
