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'.
