    Despite what the stats say, I didn't actually solve this in 7:17. I'm still trying to learn to solve cryptics (and struggling to have enough patience to think about them neatly enough). I actually got 3 clues and got close on 2, while on the rest I just revealed and then tried to find the path from the clue to the answer. I enjoyed this!
