You don't get Cryptic Crosswords in Germany?
I guess that makes some sense, since IIRC German encourages you to make one very long word out of shorter ones!

Yeah, we're good at that, especially our bureaucrats
The closest thing to a CC that I knew before are paraphrases. To clear up my understanding: Is the CCC given by Agent_007 today a true one? After reading up on it, I can't see how it would fit the "official" definition.

Yes:
There's a warmness in the atmosphere (4)
There's a warmness in tHE ATmosphere (4)
The "IN" implies (in this case) that the solution is inside the clue, and the first part tells you what to look for.

Thank you. Looks like my work is cut out for today

On a sidenote ...
... I derived another solution: There's a warmness in the atmosphere (4)
athe -> (scramble) -> heat ... my qustion is this (I don't do CCC's apart from voayering CP): are they equally good or is my thinking wrong in regard to description?

To use that solution, you'd need to add clues to remove the MOSP and RE - you can't just have a clue where you select four letters at random!
Have a look here: http://www.ukpuzzle.com/crypticxwordguide.htm[^] - it gives a (basic!) guide to solving them, which should help explain the structure and rules they need to observe.

I see what you mean, but in my (substandard) line of CCC thinking, I didn't think of "the" as part of the [in] clause, therefore my "solution" ... thanks for the tip anyway

Is like asking, do you like the CP user name with "Member ...." or the real user name?

It doesn't matter... as long as it makes use of CListCtrl

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Sounds like some of the options of a recent poll fell away. There's also Mobile development, embedded (think Raspberri) and applets (think Flash/Java).
My favourite UI would be WinForms. In Kubuntu ofcourse

None of the above.

"most" is inappropriate? Ah don' fink so.
The only error I see is an incorrectly constructed interrogative statement, which is lacking a required auxiliary verb.

Mark_Wallace wrote: an incorrectly constructed interrogative statement Along with that, don't you think "more" should be used in the comparative degree - where "only two" objects are being compared? "most" on the other hand, is used in the superlative degree (with more than two objects in the comparison), isn't it?

The number of actors doesn't make much of a difference:
Two actors:
"Boxes A and B contain marbles. but box A has more."
"Boxes A and B contain marbles. but box A has the most."
Multiple actors:
"There are more marbles in box D than in boxes A, B, or C."
"Box D has the most marbles out of boxes A, B, C, and D."
The phrasing often has to be a bit tighter when there are multiples (i.e. is it more than each one, or more than the total of all?), but the comparative and superlative both can be used with 2+ actors.
That'll be 50c for the English lesson, payable within 180 days.
