8:03. Awesome puzzle! It is very hard to build a theme in the outside clues in a Cross the Streams, I think, and I was very impressed by the logic as well. Thanks!
You are welcome 🙂 Please overlook the unnecessary “*?” clues I resorted to instead of just “*”s, in order to introduce a line of question marks. Now that I think of it, the only time a “*?” is actually more meaningful than a “*” might be when all but one cell in that direction is determined to be unshaded. Anyway, I’m glad you enjoyed it and thanks for solving!
