Yes, but the point is; you don´t have to run that fast, if you are cubing simultaneously. (If you run x sec slowerly and solve the cube y sec slowerly, then, if x+y<(normal time to solve the cube), the overall time will be less. R

I think it would be hard to run that fast while cubing. Solving the cube after the run, isn't a good idea in my opinion, since you will be very tired and have a hard time turning the cube fast. When Michael Johnson was at his peak, he could have broken the magical 1-minute limit. :-D /Gunnar --- In [email protected], Rune Wesström <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I remember, 25 years ago we discussed the following. > You have to run 400m and solve the cube.
