There's a very good chance that I'll come to play solo since the rest of my team is off for fall break.
I could also team up with someone if you guys (or the editors) are allowing open teams.

With lunch being delivered, and with an 8:30 start time, it still may be possible to be done by 5:00 PM under option 2.
