17:39 A lovely puzzle! I really liked how the single type of clue worked in so many different ways. The finish of the puzzle was particularly rewarding.
I really like the 1-3 clue and also the number 13, so I’ve experimented with it a few times in the past as well. There’s another classic Tapa with an all 1-3 clue theme on my blog, if you’re interested.
Thanks! That was another fun one, (with a tough finish).
