 The chances of me doing that are just left of zero.

I could do it, but the chances of the chip or PCB ever working again are ... zero, or probably less.
I suspect that nobody told her it couldn't be done, so she just went ahead and did it. Impressive woman, honestly.

Is your name MacGyver[^]?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Nope, but I do carry a Swiss Army Knife!

Not so loud - the Swiss Army may want it back.

This one is going to be easy as the theme is already out.
<edited> time starts now, the clue was a bit flawed.
Almost valid, a bit false with blokes down under, Mentalist (10).

Somewhat fulfills the down under part, but sadly isn't what I was thinking.
|
|
|
|

Maybe I'm wrong and everyone knows their Harry Potter trivia a lot better than I do, but I think this week's theme caters to too small of a niche audience and it might just be a back and forth between yesterday's and today's CCC setters.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, I have the same feeling. But I am obligated to follow the theme.
<edit>
Also, my lack of expertise setting CCC could also be a factor here.

I agree I don't know anything about Harry Potter - If we are going to continue with themes we need to keep them as broad as possible e.g. Famous Horror Films, Famous westerns - etc... etc.. with the emphasis being on famous and not on the same film all week

Since no one has given the answer.
Almost Valid = Legi(Legit)
bit false = li(lie)
blokes = men
down under = I think a reference to south s.
The spell delves into the mind and extracts memories hence mentalist.
Legilimens
I would think the continuous reference to how many British hang around the Lounge, they'd have read Harry Potter. Perhaps I'm just falsely stereotyping here.

Yes, as someone predicted earlier, you're up tomorrow.
<edit>
Maybe you should change the theme to something else to make it more inclusive.
Up to you.
