I remember, 25 years ago we discussed the following. You have to run 400m and solve the cube. You have the option to solve the cub before or during the running (or after the running if you like, but it looks stupid). What´s your strategy?

This really sounds like a fun event. I'll try it when it gets warmer outside (Now it's 30-40 cm of snow which isn't the best conditions for running). I guess 20 econds per cube is fairly reasonable, but 4 laps á 72 seconds sounds quite hard to me, with only 20 seconds to catch my breath. By the way, what's your best time for one lap (400 meters)?? I've done 57.8 but I'm not a runner, I'm a highjumper, so I think it's a quite good time. /Gunnar --- In [email protected], Tyson Mao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey Jeremy, > > That's awesome!
