Well, not 5 minutes but it was straightforward. I was probably affected by having mucked up the Killer and I also have to do the crossword before I get to work!

i mucked up the killer too, i hate those ones with an intermediate time like 20 minutes.

Nice to know I'm not the only one who usually HAS to do the Killer, the Difficult or Fiendish and the T2 crossword (and have a go at the Polygon!) before going to work.
