5 minutes and 5 seconds. Didn't even use roping logic, just GW and VX logic.

15:09 Very slow in comparison. I forgot to use the roping. Still fun for me. Thank you

4:57... I didn't need to assume roping, using the GW 'extreme pairs' (as CTC likes to call them) really helped tho.

4:18！ Will there actually be a prize?
@SZCrow The goal of every puzzle I create is to add joy to as many people's lives as possible. While many people usually only comment when they feel the need to point out flaws in a puzzle, I find that speed runs allow people to feel joy at accomplishment and sharing that joy with others. Read everyone's comments, and share in their joy. That is the true prize here. Thanks for playing and commenting. Peace to you. 8-) -Will Power
@Will Power I see. Just curious about how this speedrun thing works. Love the idea, peace to you too.

Okay, wasn't expecting this fast, but 3:30 with a few glasses of wine, so... whoo! ???? Really fun puzzle.

5:33, but I admit I made a typo on attempt 1 (not sure when, just eventually got a contradiction about 2:30 in), and started over.
So fair to call it about 8 mins.

9:21, as I am a total amateur, rather happy! (And I didn't notice the roping either!)

5:23 for me! I'm sure I lost a lot of time from coloring my lows and highs

Just reading about the roping in the comments. Had totally forgotten about it. I even didn't realize it when I finished the puzzle

@Hons I've never seen 1 hour expressed that way. Or.... is that a bible verse? :D -Will Power

7:18. I could have been faster, but I like to color everything properly.
on 18. March 2026, 10:43 by boggles
00:06:20 damn I thought i was kinda quick but how are people getting 3 mins?!
@boggles Some people are extremely fast at Sudoku. However, I suspect that anyone less than 5 minutes took me at my word with the puzzle name and made quick assumptions that benefitted their times in this puzzle. Thanks for playing and commenting. Peace to you. -Will Power

5:58 yay double bonus.
Took the time to colours highs and lows which I think paid off in the long run

I must have done some assumptions that were more intuition than logic - 3:01
