Weekly Set Puzzle Challenge: October 24

It's Saturday, which means it's time for the deblog's Weekly Set Puzzle Challenge! (View a list of winners of the Weekly Set Puzzle Challenge here.)

This week's scores:

• Debra -- 0:39
• Maxine -- 0:50
• Susan -- 1:24
• Karen -- 0:31

How to participate:

1. Play the theoretically simple yet maddeningly difficult Set Puzzle. (Remember, the clock starts ticking the moment you open the Set window.)
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:

a. Download the badge to your own space and link thereto.

b. Include this code in your post:

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

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

PS I have my suspicions about the timing of the Set puzzle. I think that their clock may start as soon as you click on the link - but it takes a while to download on my computer. This time, for example, I timed on my watch how long it took me to do the actual puzzle without all the waiting around first, which was about 50 secs - their timer said 1.42.

You know what you might try doing? Load the page in a browser page without looking at it and then close it. Then load it in a new page and, with the images preloaded, it should load really fast.

1:24 I thought I did reasonably well today until I looked at Debra and Maxine's times.
