Shiv Thakare then stepped in and reportedly solved the puzzle in just 10 minutes, setting a significant benchmark. Mr. Faisu also completed the puzzle; however, he was informed that his initial solution was incorrect. After revising his attempt, he reportedly finished the task in a total of 14 minutes. Based on these timings, Shiv Thakare completed the challenge in the shortest time and was declared the winner.
