Late "Easy Money" Puzzle

Ever had two conflicting thoughts in your head? Like in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text adventure, when you are simultaneously able to hold tea and no tea? That happened to me today. To wit: I was putting the final touches on the most recent nonoriddle, "Easy Money" (non-question-marked version is here) knowing that I was releasing today on Thursday, but yet so glad today was finally Friday.

(Actually, this puzzle was supposed to be released last Thursday, but family proved more distracting than I had thought... and family comes first. Basically, I ended up with a week's unintended vacation from the site.)

Two weeks ago there was the first easy/hard version of a 6x6, entitled "Love Style". I don't what any opinions were, but all the solve times were for the hard version: forty-one seconds by Jetzm, a minute five (I think!) from joefendel, and two minutes twenty-seven seconds by david3x3x3.
