Well, no. Itā€™s hard mode for a reason.
If it was any quicker, then itā€™d probably either be medium or easy mode.

A couple more for breakfast
A little more for tea
Just to take the edge off
Just to take the edge off

Move along, thereā€™s nothing left to see
Just a body, pouring down the street
Move along, thereā€™s nothing left to see
Just a body, nothing left to see

Iā€™m used to being able to solve ā€œhardā€ puzzles in ~15 minutes and then ā€œnightmareā€ takes me like 45 minutes usually

I guess NY Times difficulty scale is different though

52:18 | +2 Resets since I didnā€™t realize something and fell into a trap. So basically 60+ minutes.

This is a damn hard puzzle and it is an excellent example of why [fog] should be feared. The fact that I endured the sportmanship and didnā€™t brute-force is a damn miracle on its own, but the thing is: You either have to have a long foresight, or you have to argue for each number why it canā€™t be put here while taking account of two steps ahead.
