It took me about 30-35min in total (in 2 stages)  to do it. But i must
mention that i was in the metro and i was going to and returning from a
death metal concert, so i can be excused for the lousy times :)
By the way, i also doubt that only 2% of the population  could solve this.
It may be that only 2% of people can solve it under a certain number of
minutes.

It was fun to do !
