Remember a recent posting where a three minute connection was made and as a five minute minimum time connection is clearly shown in the rules, clarification was sought from the forum quizmaster team over the matter, but irrespective of what the rules (which were drawn up by the forum quizmaster team) actually say, the three minute connection was allowed by them in that instance.

Make of that what you will.
