  3. 15:13.Lots of small small eliminations here and there.This is a weak type of mine and I struggled to get through this.Even during the WSC (2019), I got intimidated and didn't even touch "Between" variant in the round.Would be interested to know any strategies for solving this other than the obvious 1 and 9 thing.

    Construction wise,this could easily find its place in any GP.Tough and very good !

    1. Thanks Kishore for your detailed feedback. It is a difficult one. Requires quite a bit of elimination. But still , a bit slow from your side. Expected around 12 minutes from you
