It took me 1:14 to conquer today's NYT Mini. Not bad for a Sunday, eh? I nailed most of the Across answers pretty quickly. MAP slipped my mind, but it wasn't too hard to grasp once I got passing the Across ones.
I struggled with SPF initially since I didn't fully read the clue. That slowed me down a bit when moving onto the Down answers, but I still managed to tackle them all on my first try to clock in with a decent time.
