NYT 5:30 ... LAT 2:30 ... CS 1:52 ... ND 2:19 ... CHE 3:03 ... WSJ 3:44 ... BEQ 2:37 ... MGWC 2:39

No typos or anything on the NYT - just never got into the wavelength, and spent almost exactly a minute totally forgetting about MEL'S... AYESHA was no problem, but I couldn't think of MEL'S. Joon, I hope you beat me!

morning update... OK, if I'd solved the CS before the NYT as usual, MEL'S would have been fresh in the brain! I was going to mention the WSJ last night. How is it possible for me to fly though that puzzle at Ludicrous Speed, and immediately proceed to tank the NYT? Something like a mental refractory period (sorry, Mom)?

Gonna save the BEQ so I can fully enjoy the BEQ/Gaffney Crossover Event!

yup. but your time is so surprising it feels more like you lost than i won. and that's supposed to be a compliment, although now it sort of doesn't look like one.

wait, hold on. 3:44 on the WSJ?!? i didn't even notice that the first time i read the post. holy crap.

Did Omni get the Chronicle properly for you? Just curious.

Dan said...

Alex - yep, but not the BEQ...

Dan -

I figured out that problem and fixed it. This will (I think) be the final release of Omni 2.0.

HUH? (You mean, you've had an early-senior-moment?)

3:44 on a Sunday-size puzzle? Dan, I think you just broke the space-time puzzle continuum. Stephen Hawking may have to chime in on that one :).
