I did not actually complete this in 45 seconds... I think my internet connection was cutting in and out.

Hi 42luv,
Sorry about that - if you let me know what you think your time was I will amend the database.
Thank you for pointing this out. I will have a look and work out why the time was wrong in this case - this should not be possible as you can imagine! :) This should only happen if you open the player window and then somehow open a second player window just before completion - timing will then come from the most recently-opened window. But then opening the second window should erase your first window, and it should ask you to confirm too.
What browser are you using? (IE, Firefox, etc?) And presumably you definitely opened the puzzle by clicking on the puzzle directly from the menu, rather than by copying and pasting the URL to another browser window? (which would bypass the second-window check)
I'm not sure what my time was... It was easily more than a half hour though. I think I even answered the phone and forgot about it for awhile which was why I was soo suprised when I saw what it said my time was. Maybe you could just remove that time as though I never played it? I was using IE 6.0 (sometimes I use Firefox) and I wasn't opening and closing the window just playing through, and yes, I did open it from the regular menu. We just switched which router we are using and ever since there have been issues with connectivity flashing off and on. We are trying to figure out why, but as yet tech support hasn't been able to figure it out either. That doesn't seemed to have been a problem with any other puzzles yet though...
By the way, Thank you for doing this site... I really like stretching my brain on these!

I've also set your time to exactly 20 minutes - I can mark the puzzle as truly unplayed if you prefer?

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
