Grrr... this should have been more like 35 minutes. Ran into deep dead-ends three times, b/c I had made a mistake with some pencil marks... :-(

I feel your pain, Winterer. These are so unwieldy, it is so easy to make one little error. I was about 30 minutes in when I ran into a contradiction. Sometimes I give up in that spot, but this time I hit 'Show wrong' to trace back the mistake and continue from there... But I love the big puzzles for that reason too.

I tried it very carefully after these comments, ran into a contradiction anyway, because in the endgame I was not as carefull anymore. Found some pencilmarks in that process I should have removed way earlier (belonging to preset numers).
Gigfy44's 50 minutes look reasonable, 35 minutes? Difficult.

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'.
