2:09 Odd clue, I got the anagram and solved it, then had to ponder how the clue connected.

I often go for a loose pun for the title, but this time I tried more of a scattershot of association with >!the merry men: Maid Marian, Will Scarlet, Friar Tuck, Little John, and Much the Miller's Son!< - hopefully not too left field!
I think you need a newline for the spoiler to work?
The clue was a unexpected and I personally didn't get the connection and stumbled on the answer (8:00) . The crossword clues were fine, but the binary one I had to take with faith that you thought of the same substitution for 1 and 0.
I think looser/non pun based clues are fine, this specific instance might have been iffy.

If the new type of clue was 2 across, I might not have gotten it, except the rest of the answers filled it in for me, which is pretty typical for clues I'm not familiar with, so I think it worked well enough! I can see how something like that would be helpful for creating such a tight grid.
If it was something else, I really didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, besides maybe the title which seemed odd at first but helped me fill in the anagram quite nicely. π
Yeah it was 2 across I was curious about. I have done roman numerals in the past without much complaint, but was interested to see how this could go because strictly speaking they are numbers!

I got tripped up because I put one of the answers in the crossword in the wrong direction. DOH!
:56, my fastest time yet.
Sub 1 minute! Excellently done!!
