01:14. Nice easy Cave.
1:12. For once, I beat GM time.
This was on a hard border as I like using quarter minutes but Palmer and I were at 1:11 and 1:15 so it moved up to a rare 1:20 time to leave a little room but not too much. With chaotic_iak’s time, I’m now just waiting for a 1:13 and we’ll have a five solver straight.
Oh, I still failed to beat Palmer 😛
nice puzzle 🙂
