14:46 with one restart. I think I can quantify my “Latin Square Curse” now. For other puzzles, I feel good if I can solve it in something close to the posted expert time. But for any puzzle based on Latin squares, I’m happy to get within twice that time.
That said, I did enjoy this TomTom. Thanks, Grant.
This goes a lot faster when you stop adding and subtracting willy-nilly in some of the boxes and limit yourself to just one operation. And by “you”, I mean “I”.
