My best (first time) is about 32 seconds. It's usually around a minute average. It took me awhile to get really good though. I was first introduced to this game in college. We start drinking (gasp, I know) and then try to play it. There's be about 5 or 6 of us around the table trying to find as many sets as we could. I wish I had pictures of that!

My friend and I are rabid about playing. It nearly gets violent.
She has tied me, but hasn't beaten me yet.
We also e-mail our SET times when we do well on the daily puzzle. I will often have an e-mail that just says in the subject "29 seconds".
Sad, I know.

My mother saw the original post and said that when she saw the subject, she was absolutely sure I was the one who brought it up.
No, I just replied a million times to profess my love of SET. It's funny that there are others who letterbox, visit AQ a lot and love the game.
Now, if anyone had also replied to my Paint by Numbers post, that would have been very funny.

They have some in every issue of Games Magazine pretty much and they have some books of them. I don't know of any sites with them, but there probably are some.

LOL! Far from it! It takes a lot of brains just to figure out what to look for. I've been playing Set for several years now and one day last week it took me over 5 minutes to find all 6 sets. And what's worse it was one of those smack-in-the-face-obvious ones. D'oh!
Keep trying, trust me you'll get faster...

Don't feel bad either, it took me 12 minutes earlier today. I couldn't find more to do tho, is there an archive on that website and I was just missing it?

There's only one per day unfortunately. It's really a card game and you play with a special deck of cards.
