Pause test follow-up: first gap differences against recorded running times (after the result) If a start's first gap difference marks its first pause, it ran at (pause + 300) / 230 time units per second in its first piece. start first gap diff implied 1st-piece speed implied total recorded total (average speed) 1 1,185 6.4/s 979 s with starts 1-6 2 2,065 10.3/s 614 s with starts 1-6 3 1,680 8.6/s 734 s with starts 1-6 4 2,300 11.3/s 558 s with starts 1-6 5 2,440 11.9/s 530 s with starts 1-6 6 2,625 12.7/s 496 s with starts 1-6 7 320 2.7/s 2,356 s 1,289 s (4.9/s) 8 625 4.0/s 1,575 s 1,156 s (5.5/s) 9 1,440 7.5/s 835 s 965 s (6.5/s) 10 1,020 5.7/s 1,102 s 900 s (7.0/s) 11 1,765 9.0/s 703 s 739 s (8.5/s) 12 1,985 9.9/s 636 s 667 s (9.4/s) Starts 1 to 6 (six tasks; their file records only the sum): at the implied speeds they would have run 3,911 s in all; their file records 3,834 s (average 9.9 units/s; implied 10.2). Starts 7 to 12: the slower a start ran overall, the earlier it parted (rank correlation of first gap difference with average speed +0.94). Starts 7 and 8 would have needed a first piece slower than their own average (2.7 and 4.0 against 4.9 and 5.5 units/s). A consistency check worked out after the result, not a test: the pause points were not recorded.
