A Confusing, Nasty DA Teaching (11th July)

21 across: Massive wombat turned lazy with excess, yet alert (10)

    well, turned lazy=torpid backwards=diprot
    not sure about how with excess, yet=od
    but perhaps    alert=on?

    Yep, you’ve got it.

    with excess = OD as in overdose.

    Now go figure out the syllogism clue. We don’t even know where to start on that one.
