  Ooh, those were some tough ones! I have never heard nor read the RHINO in 4A. TIL!

    I hadn't heard it either before making this, but apparently that's the older use of the word!

  I really liked the pairing of "forge" in 1D and "non-counterfeit" in 3D; I think 4A is an appropriate use of a hidden, given that many people are going to be learning that word for the first time here.

    I thought it was a fairly well known currency, but perhaps if you haven't played Legend of Zelda? I will say I wasn't familiar with that definition of rhino before, though :P

      The currency, yes, the word accompanying it in the definition (rhino) not so much.

        Ah right, that was the word you meant then, my bad :P

  I suspect I will be cheating and learning a lot from you. Thanks!

  I like being pushed to learn new meanings of words as in 4A.
