Hi Stefan :-) When Joel, Lars, Matt (Walter) and Ron tried the marathon after the World Championships the scrambler(s) tried as best as they could to put the cubes so that the cuber could see an easy cross. This is of course a bit subjective but i guess it gives the cuber more confidence to not get a cube where u have to search for a cross. As i know there are no official rules for the marathon, of course except that there is really no inspection time for each cube and u have to really solve 42 cubes with no pauses ...
