Answer String: Enter the length in cells of each of the segments labeled with numbers from left to right for the marked rows, starting at the top. Separate each row’s entry from the next with a comma.
Time Standards (highlight to view): Grandmaster = 3:30, Master = 5:00, Expert = 10:00

14:10 A very fun Nanro variation. I especially liked the finish.
12:24.
02:37. The fact that this is one second away from the Tapa is a coincidence.
Nice puzzle. I intuited the finish, but I can see how it’s a nice finish as mentioned.
