brush up on the last block on the stairs and get to the goal with a 242
The easiest way I know is to brush up on the final block by doing a late jump. If this fails, just sit at the flag until 242 (loses a framerules against delay tho)
Another way (the one that kosmic and andrewg do) is quite difficult for newer players. You brush up on the second to last block by doing a backwards jump, landing on the top step. Either one still saves time against waiting at the pole.
