Weekly Set Puzzle Challenge: April 14

Update: And the winner is Karen, beating out Maxine by one second.

It's Saturday, which means it's time for the deblog's Weekly Set Puzzle Challenge! Anyone who cares to participate may do so as follows:

1. Play the theoretically simple yet maddeningly difficult Set Puzzle.
2. Post your time in the comments to this post.
3. The winner for the week gets to hoist the much-coveted winner's badge. This should be posted in a blog post rather than on your sidebar, say, because, after all, your time to bask in the glory of the win is likely to be ephemeral.

How to post the badge? Some possibilities:

1. Download the badge to your own space and link thereto.
2. Include this code in your post:

<a href="http://www.the-deblog.com"><img src="http://dhamel.typepad.com/images/setduelwinner.gif" /></a>

3. Alternatively, you're not obliged to post it. This is all in fun, after all.

This week's scores:
Debra -- 1:06
Medb -- 8:27
Karen -- 0:52
Douglas -- 1:13
Maxine -- 0:53
Kimmy -- 1:32
Susan -- 1:33

I'll NOT enter my 8 Mins, 27 Secs (unless you want I should post it on the other team. . .) but I just want to say that this is the first one of these damned things that I've actually finished in months. I hate 'em. HATE 'em! Don't know why I keep trying to do them. Stupid puzzles.

Medbie, welcome to the ranks of the relatively-good losers. I happen to be Queen of the Organization, but your self-sacrifice and humility have been noted. I'll be back to embarrass myself on this puzzle after another pot of tea. And by 'pot', I don't mean 'pot'! Really, it's just tea.
