As the creator says:

"This poor girl has been having a bad time lately so I decided to fix it. Shame I can't change her politics, but it's a start."

I’ve stopped even attempting any puzzle that takes them more than 30 mins to solve.

Mark is a pain for solving through “feed-forward” though, which is tantamount to bifurcation in my book. One of my favourite solves though was one where he’d gone down that route and I’d bloody-mindedly refused to, spending another eight hours or so finding a logical solution.
