Monday: 5:32 (clean)
Tuesday: 4:14 (clean)
Wednesday: 8:50 (clean)
Thursday: 10:24 (clean)
Friday: 13:15 (clean)
Saturday: 30:00 (see below)
Sunday: 20:43 (clean)
Saturday's puzzle took me an hour. With hints from the constructor. And a web search. After 30 minutes, I had 50 letters either blank or wrong. All in all for the week I ended up taking about 93 minutes, which is a little high, and ending 555 points low--better than the disastrous week of April 29, when both Saturday and Sunday took me far too long, with mistakes.
Week of May 20th:
Monday: 4:24 (clean)
Tuesday: 4:49 (clean)
Wednesday: 6:28 (clean)
Thursday: 8:24 (clean)
Friday: 13:56 (clean)
Saturday: 14:13 (clean)
Sunday: 14:45 (clean) (est.)
I haven't checked Sunday's answers yet--they won't be up until tomorrow--but I don't think there's a mistake in here. And if there's not--I'm clean for the week, with a total time of 67 minutes. A full four and a half minutes faster than my best week to date; no mistakes puts me 475 points over my goal. Now there's a week for you.
