Everyone is going to break 60 seconds today, some maybe 30.

1. Look over the puzzle for 20 seconds
2. Copy and Paste to Hal.
3. Set your stop watch
4. Put down your first letter, (once a letter is entered your time starts.)
5. Record your time for the group

Under 2 minutes it will be a good day
Under 90 seconds it will be a great day
Under 60 seconds it will be a kick @ss day (buy five scratch offs)

30 seconds to know the answer. Longer to manipulate the Hal form.

1 false start on the first word, then I guessed the first word by letter pattern, then I knew the answer. Because of Hal and clicking letters, a bit over a minute.
