Thx. I understood the meaning. It's about the importance of precaution.
(The only thing I don't understand: What can I do by googling an old English phrase? Will I get an explanation in my spoken languages?)

Oof. I'd have to go back and take notes all the way through to walk through my logic. However, I can say that I did not need to guess at any point.

Well, then, be more specific about the aspect that needs explanation. Is it the picture you don't understand? The clock face is used as a metaphor for Time.

Google has a nifty Translate feature, which will, at least, transliterate the text into your preferred language.

I use google translate all the time. not perfect, but it gives the gist. and the language choice is very very extensive.

love the name, Andraya!

after line and color logic solves all the blue and green,

Edge logic on the 2 in r17 makes c1-5 white

Edge logic on the 4 in c10 makes r3-4 white
Edge logic on the 3 in c9 makes r1-2 white

Then extended edge logic on the 3 in c9. If it were to go in r3-5:
>It would force the 3s in r3 & r4 back into those two columns.
>That would then force r1 in each of those columns to be black - the top 1 clue in each column.
>They can't *both* be black because there's only a 1 clue in r1.
Because we found a conflict, c9r3 must be white.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

nice puz, Anna
