Hey all, I know this game barely has any activity, but I started looking into running it and had questions on both start and end timing. Not sure if DOS version is different, I'm on 1.12 windows version.

Time starts when a building is selected to start the first stage. Time ends when the trophy has finished being raised after winning the final race.

If time doesn't start until first building is selected, does that mean that the menu can be accessed freely before that outside of timer? This would allow for turning off sounds, voices, and new player hints before the timer actually starts.

Second, with voices on, the trophy raises at the end and either the Super Solver or Maxwell says a voice line before the "Congratulations" popup occurs. Is it actually when the trophy stops moving, or would timing stop after the voice line finishes playing and the text box appears? I'm aware that voice can be turned off to avoid this, but voice is actually useful in the stage proper.
