LOL Your clue for #1 made me giggle
I couldn't do it in 60 seconds. It was doable, but took me a couple of minutes. Got stuck on gelatine, but the next word came easy.
Maybe it was just me, but I found the instructions inadequate. A full example of what was wanted would have been a great improvement.
Sorry, craniac - I made it as clear as I could ... but now that you know what to do, try another!
Took me a while, but finally got it. Thanks for posting.
