Nope. Makes no difference to me.
Agreed. At 1800, I can fairly consistently get low to mid-30s without a lot of trouble. That's with a leisurely minute a move or so, which on survival mode includes answering calls and doorbells, getting/eating snacks, restroom breaks, conversations, etc. When I get to the mid 30s, things slow down considerably, and by the high 30s it might take me 15 minutes to determine a move, or to determine that I only have a best guess. There's also the binge factor...I play once a day, but it's easier to get on a roll playing for longer, and then when a "lucky" set of puzzles hits (not easier problems, but just randomly a set of problems you are better at), you can spike higher.
So that minute per move translates to about 5-15 seconds per move up to the mid 20s, then progressively slower from there. Then again, I am a "if you see a good move, sit on your hands" kind of player, and I blunder check even in puzzle rush. At lower levels that just means running through the major pieces again, for higher puzzles that includes re-calculating the whole solution a second time.
A 1200 getting 52? Not buying it even at 1 hour/move. Unless you are a candidate master that signed up at 1200 rating a day ago 
. Maybe I could get high 40s if I went into correspondence mode and set up a board and spent hours on each position or let it sit there for days ruminating on it as time allows? Next time I get laid up with a twisted ankle or something I might try that.
3min 5min or survival?

is it just me, or does survival puzzle rush seem a lot harder then my 2500 puzzles...? I keep getting 1100s and 1700s wrong in puzzle rush (no joke) while also being able to break some 2700 puzzles without a sweat.
of course, if you do 52 for a 1200 that is cheating
of course, if you see it was survival you won't have said that
