588.3 is the best I could pull off....

But then again... my reaction time sucks (damn drugs!!)

Edit: Scratch that... I'm now tied with bugfreezer at 593.5

Gonna have to keep working it :)

400+ on my second try. . .

588.8 sometime thereafter. But I can see already I'm going to have to work harder at it. :P

How about going for the -shortest- distance, greater than zero.

I have 166.1

Yeah, my 148 musta been a fluke, now that I'm trying I can't get anything below about 170. Oh well, guess I'll have to keep trying :P
