unmoved, yeah (inertia=lethargy); moves uniformly, yeah (1st law of motion); not sure about the middle one.

totally thought "amnesia" was for the "curiously moved" one, possibly via anagram of "animates" with some letters missing in a way that I didn't understand yet

I thought it was inertia but was hung up on one of the 'moves' meaning 'it's an anagram' and couldn't get it to work

re: the guardian, did anyone do araucaria's easter prize double? i'm sure he thinks running the clues together is terribly clever but the surface reading just ends up being garbled nonsense.

Just got there myself and made a little noise halfway between a groan and a snort of laughter out loud in the office. Which was awkward.
Not got koogs' yet, though...
― instant coffee happening between us (a passing spacecadet), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 13:11 (fourteen years ago)
what's the answer then koogs?
― good luck in your pyramid (Neil S), Thursday, 26 April 2012 12:45 (fourteen years ago)
theft
which i only got as i had letters 1, 3 and 5. 'job' being newspaper headline speak for a big robbery, but that seemed unsatisfactory, like it was missing something. took 10 minutes to realise that it's also 'the FT'.
― koogs, Thursday, 26 April 2012 13:06 (fourteen years ago)
