The Times are offering free day passes to their crossword content in celebration of the 75th birthday of the Times Crossword. Among other things, you can try the crossword editor's "fiendishly difficult" clue and win a crate of wine:

E-mail answers to xchallenge@thetimes.co.uk by Monday 7th February. Perhaps if somebody here solves it, we can all enter and share the wine...
