I solved a puzzle in about 20 minutes, but it says I took 26 hours! Whats going on?

The time it takes to solve a puzzle is measured from the very first time you see it until the correct solution is submitted. Even if in the meantime you’ve saved your position, gone off and done other things for a day (maybe even other puzzles), then come back to it. The reason it’s done like this is to stop people from obtaining a fast time on difficult puzzles by printing them off, solving them on paper, and then coming back to quickly fill in the solution.
