I can't believe I got this run. This is the first five-day run (to my knowledge) as well as the first sub-13 minute run for this category. I started grinding for a five-day run at about 70 attempts, with a total playtime of roughly 13 hours. After practicing a new route, I was able to finish day 4 in under 13 minutes, with a little over $12 remaining to reach rank 5. This meant that if I could get medals from both Cooper and Kingsley on the final day, I would be able to skip day 6, saving several minutes in the process. Unfortunately, this required incredible luck. More specifically, the chances of getting both medals on day 5 are 16 in 1225, or approximately 1.3%. Before I achieved this run, I had two runs where I had perfect luck until day 5, when Cooper decided not to show up. During this run, I became worried when I didn't see Kingsley at the start of day 5. Thankfully, he arrived, and I managed to earn just enough tips for rank 5. I am incredibly proud of this run, as it not only has incredible luck, but a very fast pace as well. Prior to this run, my best pace was a 12:42 (this run died on day 4, but I continued playing to see how fast it would have been). This run was barely behind my personal best, only losing a maximum of 4 seconds. That being said, I played this run in a very risky manner. Usually, I try to get around 96% or higher in the cutting station for each order so that I can get extra tips (non-medal customers pay tips in 6-cent increments; this can be the difference between finishing a run and choking). However, I focused on speed instead of accuracy, giving me lower scores (and reduced tips) as a result. On the final day, I took my time in the cutting station in order to ensure that I would receive enough tips for rank 5, which certainly paid off in the end. For now, the grind is over. I don't think I'll return to this category unless a new route is found, since I don't think it's possible for me to save any additional time at the moment. With that being said, enjoy the run.
