      "thousands of hard work"? If you meant hours: No. It took them only the knowledge someone most likely found by accident, of how the engine kill tiles work and/or experience with / watching youtube where walls knock you towards certain directions. Then finding a way to apply that to this track, then some practice runs depending on how good they are at using these methods. Yes it's the combined experience of players that gave us this knowledge, but that's first of all not by "authors", and secondly you're implying it ook individual authors thousands of hours of hard work.
      There's 8000+hours in a year, no single individual spent almost 3 hours a day, every day, no skipped days, for a whole year, just to find a skip for this track.
      Thousands of minutes sounds about right, but kinda undermines your point.
      Tortugo surely is someone with a lot of experience on tracks, so it's very likely he instantly thought of his skip when he found this track, but after the updates, it was not as easy.
      Also, the maker of the map just kept shifting the goalposts each time someone found a skip, so that's hardly fair. Life's goals don't just move away from you after you reach them by taking a shortcut. xD
      But other than that, sure it did take some effort to find and use the other shortcuts, even though they didn't need to sit in front of their screen while waiting. xP

    @6:25 [i think] you have an error, you did the math straight down as it's shown on screen, not realizing that the two times aren't lined up correctly (I assume because the game doesn't add the 'hours' digits until it actually needs them...?). He didn't beat it by 15 hours and 41 minutes; he beat it by 16 hours, 12 minutes, and a few seconds (like..5 seconds. I've done a lot of math today and I don't want to do anymore!)
    Not really important though, as those two numbers mean the same thing in context: "he beat it by a lot"

      the original way needs to stay because you need to finish ("validate") the track before uploading. it's no solution to the puzzle anymore but it is a tool to create an even harder puzzle. it's also a limit as any slower solution isn't accepted either, though that is unlikely to ever factor in.
