@B Yes. yes. yeah. ok.

@JOHN John, I’m having a little trouble reconciling your claim that this took you “ALL DAY” with your more specific estimate of 35 minutes. Those descriptions seem to represent two rather different levels of temporal commitment. For perspective, a standard day contains 24 hours, or 1,440 minutes. Even if we use the more astronomically precise definition of a sidereal day, we still arrive at approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, or about 1,436 minutes. By comparison, 35 minutes amounts to only about 2.4% of a standard day. I understand that “all day” is sometimes used as an expression meaning “for a while” or “long enough for me to become mildly annoyed.” However, if that is the interpretation you intended, then the phrase is doing an impressive amount of exaggerating on your behalf. A more accurate description might be “I spent 35 minutes on it,” “I worked on it briefly,” or perhaps “I allowed this crossword to occupy a noticeable portion of my afternoon.” So, for the sake of chronological accuracy, which was it? Did the puzzle consume approximately 1,440 minutes of your day, or did it take 35 minutes? Because while both statements might technically coexist if one is being used figuratively, they cannot both be taken literally without introducing a fairly creative approach to measuring time. In any event, congratulations on completing the rebus. I hope the answer itself was less confusing than the chronology of your explanation.
