mctrivia: Speed, yeah, right. :) You guys have lost it and I'm having a good laugh now just listening to the speculation. I have yet to meet a smart person that takes speed on a regular basis. And I've known a few. Perhaps in lower doses and used medicinally instead of as a drug to get high it might conceivably have such a use, but if so, why wouldn't it be a more widely known fact? The amount taken to get high is lot more than the amount needed to feel its affect of waking you up and increasing alertness. So maybe there's something to this drug angle except for one thing. Speed is a long lasting drug and you wouldn't need to make frequent trips to the restroom. One extra trip at most. No reason one couldn't just take it before leaving your hotel room and not take it again until the next day. Is coffee drinking allowed at this tournament?

Like the joke picture on the link that had all the phones, computers, and monitors, along with the padded toilet seat, if there's anything going on with the frequent trips to the restroom besides him having a urinary problem, it will be getting outside help and using machines to make the moves. You wouldn't need such an elaborate set up. A cell phone and a few even one conspirators a call away who are watching the tournament would be enough.

I have a question about the use of the restroom while the tournament game is going on. Does your clock run while you're in the restroom and it's your turn?
