8:40 on the third one, no mistakes! But it was close in a couple places. #4 may break my error-free streak.

I think meta solving helped on this one - only questioned 10D for about 5 seconds.

Close the standings sheet if you have it open per hosts request. It is locked.

Al -- there'a a link on the webpage to live scoring (www.crosswordtournamentfromyourcouch.org)
They asked us not to click on it for a while b/c it was locking up. Seems to be working now.

Nice Brian - you got me on that one! 15:02 but clean

Clean is much better than with an error...you will earn more points for that one than me.

10:40, clean. I'm lol'ing at Patrick Blindauer's times, which are similarly to mine except for #3, which he wrote, and so surprise he got it in half my time.

Thanks for the pointer, this is fun! I was late so I'm not sure I'm actually competing (futon division), but so far I have:
1. 10:20, 1 error
2. 12:10, 1 error (guessed but should have guessed better)
3. 17:32, no errors
4 and 5 aren't up for me yet, although it looks like 4 should be by now?
1. 10:20, 1 error
2. 12:10, 1 error (guessed but should have guessed better)
3. 17:32, no errors

Yes, #4 is up (refresh the page?). Erik Agard, 2:58 for #4 with no errors? Woof.
