Can anyone beat 3 hours 47 minutes for a Monday puzzle?

Ok, I did have several long breaks in between so it wasn't actually a continuous 3 hours 47 mins....  Beats working though and is a welcome alternative to arduous tasks.

I have to admit, when I first started these, I used to get times like that, even while working etc. Now, however, I'd be surprised if a Monday puzzle takes me longer than 5 minutes or so. It's all about practice and recognising certain situations/patterns. Having said that, I still struggle with the weekend puzzles. Last Saturday's took me about 9 hrs. Admittedly, I was drunk, tired and got it started at 5 am and then left it til I got up a few hours later, but that's no excuse.....

Cheers All....
