The inevitable show-off topic - someone had to post it eventually, why not now?

So far I've got my time down to 38:16 remaining - still four minutes short of the record time - 42:24, is that right?

I think it's wrong, 42:24 is the record time of Jan and me, but I believe there are 12 persons who are faster, the fastest one is 4 seconds faster I believe so after our site is ready I think we have to try to beat it .

Ah, this'll be more difficult than I thought, then! I tried again today and was surprised when I found my time had gone down to 39:13 - under 200 seconds short of the record now.

I recently did a speedrun of sorts (not a perfect one, mind you), skipping all life potions and killing guards only as necessary. I killed the following:

Level 4: Guard in Exit Room - I didn't want to risk getting killed after returning weakened by jumping through the mirror.
Level 8: Guard in room left of Entrance - I'm not very good at switching sides with him, so I killed him as fast as I could.
Level 11: Guard on top story of room right of Entrance - He has to be killed, because you need to drop a loose tile from the ceiling above to push a button that opens the gate which enables further progress.

Other than that, I tried using every shortcut possible. Here are the cuts I didn't use:

The even shorter way of beating Level 1 by jumping through the guard - I simply can't do it!
The one glitch in Level 7 - I don't exactly know where to jump from, so I didn't even bother trying.

I successfully broke my record of 36 minutes or so and now it is +/- 41 minutes. Hurray for me! ^^

Currently, I have a remaining time of 45:55.

Remaining time is 37 mins 17 sec
