Experiment was all around a failure on this occasion due to the high number of errors.
The approach was to slam in as many answers as possible in the first two minutes and pick up the pieces from there. It might have potential if I'm more careful about filling in what's left of the grid, or with practice. Or , it may be a non-starter.
There was more than 50% filled in at 2:15 I estimate but it included a few errors that had to be corrected and which probably, when you weigh the plusses and minusses, ends up being counterproductive.

Incidentally for last week, errors were kept to a minimum, only two though the total time spiked because of Thurs. and Sat. at over an hour each.
