"COMMONSENSE CROSSWORD" No. IS6
Putting two and two together correctly is a figure of speech for using one's commonsense. By thus putting two and two together in this Competition you can make Rs. 7,500. Eut let us be frank. Our Compiler has so phrased the Clues that in solving them you may be tempted sometimes to say that two and two make five — particularly if you try to be too clever ! However, the simple truth is that you can solve every single Clue in the puzzle by using just plain, ordinary, commonsense. The First Prize is Rs. 5,000 Cash Down plus Rs. 2,500 in interest bearing War Saving Certificates, or a lump sum of Rs. 7,000 Cash Down. A further Rs. 5,000 will be divided among Runners-up and there are Extra Prizes that must be won by even those who make four errors. Competitors who get busy now on the Practice Square below will be one jump ahead of those who don't !
