Question for the channel: Do you time-box the question before calling it quits? or do you spend as much time as needed to get to the answer? specially around the latter more difficult questions

I think I would not enjoy spending more than 1h on a solution

if I can't get an answer within a couple hours, I'll go to bed and try again in the afternoon (happened twice in 2019, twice in 2016)

didn't play 2015 live but I went back to it later, and day 19 took me over 24 hours. I still did it, eventually.

I hope I wouldn't spend that much time on it but it's easy to get caught up

most likely it seems like I'm going to give up at some point, seems like they probably get pretty damn hard
