13:42 My first time to try solving a Cross the Streams. I started out trying to use the stars as if they were question marks and that obviously didn’t work. I need to remember to read the rules with a bit more attention when solving new puzzle types.
That’s an understandable miss, I guess it didn’t help that this one had no question marks.
I liked the lack of question marks, and overall this was a good solve with lots of different types of logic to be brought to bear.
