Hi, some questions:

Is the time in the ESC/Pause screen counted to the playthrough time in Any% Random Seed Glitchless? Or could i for example stop the run by pressing ESC, get myself something to eat and than go on later?

2nd Question: Is it allowed to use the ESC-Menu for "Freezing the game": For example the ender-dragon kicks you in the air and you just press ESC to freeze the game and prepare you for "impact" / water bucket.

3rd Question: Could somebody explain me which time actually counts? - i stop my games on my own, but these aint perfect. (with LiveSplit) Isn't the "time_since_death" variable in the world-file the best option to get the ACTUAL play-time? (if you didn't die)

thanks :)
