Marz. You should change the title to include "get out a stopwatch and time your solve"#3: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Oct 28, 2011
Look at my #11319#4: Marie-Louise Ambrey (marz71) on Oct 28, 2011
Thanks Brian, I thought of that, but didn't want too long a title, I am going to do a few of these, so when you see 3 minute madness then get out the stopwatch. Plus I think that most people, like myself, will want to have a second go at solving to get a better time.#5: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Oct 28, 2011
I checked your puzzle out, and did it in 1m 20s, pretty slow after seeing all the comments :)
nice little puzzle. 1:36 on attempt 2.#6: Marie-Louise Ambrey (marz71) on Oct 28, 2011
Pretty good David :)#7: Alicia Snyder (prinny) on Oct 28, 2011
I figured by 3 minute madness that you were challenging us to finish it within 3 minutes so I started the timer before the first (and only) attempt.. my time was 2 minutes and 11 seconds. Nice image :)#8: Claudia (clau_bolson) on Oct 28, 2011
2:30 on second attempt...#9: Marie-Louise Ambrey (marz71) on Oct 28, 2011
Good time ladies, better than mine, on my first attempt Alicia I think I took like 4 minutes. We got some speed solvers on this site, and I'm not one of them, lol.#10: Alicia Snyder (prinny) on Oct 28, 2011
I work fastest under pressure. Back in school, the teachers would give math tests of 100 equations and they gave us 3 minutes to complete as many as possible. I always had at least 30 seconds left over when I was done with all 100. And I'd guess my accuracy level was on average in the 90% range.#11: Merili (merilinnuke) on Oct 29, 2011
1:15, second attempt#12: Marie-Louise Ambrey (marz71) on Oct 29, 2011
Merili is the one to beat! :)#13: jewel crown (jewel) on Oct 29, 2011
I didn't beat Merili. Not even close; 2:10#14: Teresa K (fasstar) on Oct 29, 2011

Very nice puzzle! I've solved literally thousands of 10X10 2 color puzzles like this on http://mrl.nyu.edu/~hertzman/dots/, and know all the patterns off by heart, but still took me about 2 mins!#23: Susan Duncan (medic25733) on Nov 6, 2011
2:30 - Aldege you are too funny! Maybe Niki can help you?#24: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Oct 7, 2018
