    07:42. WHAT WAS THAT MADNESS

    Erm. Okay. Really tough opening, but fell nicely afterwards, not too smoothly but much less demanding than the opening. I wouldn’t believe that this is Grant’s style if I haven’t seen some of his harder puzzles on this blog. Wonderful puzzle.

    I’m curious as to what the intended opening was… what I did was (rot13’d) gur ebj 6 pyhr zrnaf gur fdhner va pbyhza 3 zhfg or rzcgl, from which the rest falls into place.
