  Description :-)

  I still can't believe I did it. I think in this .LMP some very special
  coincidences occured so I'll write about it in detail:

  As an introduction I'll say that I don't think the monsters can fight each
  other more efficiently, so I'll count the seconds I lose by my stupid
  mistakes and by that I'll calculate an "optimal" time.

  In the beginning I press the switch and strafe run to the other switch. I
  lose about 1 second crashing into the cacodemons but it's worth it since I
  think all 3 imps hit one of the cacodemons, a rare occasion indeed. I run
  to the shotgun and then I miss (damnit!!) one imp. But I kill all 3 after
  that miss. So far, a loss of about 2.5 seconds. I get out of that corridor
  and kill one cacodemon with 6 shotgun shots instead of 5. So far, a loss
  of about 3.7 seconds I think. Then I go to the room with the many imps and
  one cacodemon. The cacodemon hits 2 imps and they fight. The imps later
  kill the cacodemon, I'm not kidding. Meanwhile I go back to check on the
  monsters I left behind. I can't believe what I see: All 3 imps are dead
  and the cacodemon dies from 1 shell. It takes me a moment to come back to
  my senses. Time loss: 5 seconds. I go back. The cacodemon is dead. Two
  imps die from two shells, two other imps die from one shell. I'm amazed,
  and acting like an idiot, I take the medikit even though I have 91%
  health. Stupid stupid stupid! Time loss: 7 seconds. I kill all demons with
  2 shells except for one taking 3 shells. All imps die with 1 shell.
  Total time loss caused by the stupid me: 7 seconds. Optimal time (in my
  opinion) for E3M1: 1:15.

  The coincidences without which I couldn't make this demo: 1. All 3 imps
  fight one of the cacodemons and nearly kill him. All of them die. 2. Two
  imps kill a cacodemon and get heavily injured. 3. Most of the demons die
  using two shells only.

  But still, I improve the old record which was also mine by 10 whole
  seconds and get 8 seconds under par! It all made me very excited so I'm
  sorry if I annoy anyone.

  PLEASE give me feedback!! I promise I'll answer and it will make me very
  happy! Please please please!!!
