While it was done some years ago I see, I thought I would try a cryptic crossword-like thread for fun and to try and boost a little more interest here. I made up the below question for anyone interested in such a challenge. I thought the first person to get it correct might come up with the next question. A clue though - if you copy one from a newspaper or magazine etc., the answer can often be found on the internet. I can explain the answer for anyone who asks. 🙂
The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water.

I worked out an answer that fits perfectly, but I'd probably be reported.

Syphoning?

I think it might be siphoning (spelling with "i"), because the clue includes suck up... which would mean "sip" rather than "syp".
But generally speaking, nfs, I'd say you have it.

yes, SIPHONING, over to you
