Comments: Even though time was the goal for this assignment, I went ahead 
    and did the dance first, "instant carnage" or not on every LMP.  
    My brother convinced me that a good speedy gonzales should finish with 
    some extra health (say 72%) to show that he could continue on at the
    same pace for multiple levels without wearing down.
         The hardest level was ironically the "easy" level, E1M7.  I spent
    more time on that one than any of the others.  It's not quite perfect.
    I wish I could have missed a few less shots, and dodged a few more
    fireballs, but there isn't much time for finesse on this one so I 
    just tried to cause as much carnage as possible on the way through.
    I used the shotgun because the chaingun takes too much time to pick up,
    and the shotgun is almost as effective with good aim.
         E2M9 was cake.  I did the dance a few seconds late so I could try
    to hide around a corner from the four barons, but they found me anyway.
    Try to ignore the baron's fireball hitting me during the dance, it was 
    a pitiful and unsuccessful attempt to keep me from finishing with
    200% health, 100% items, and 100% secrets.  There isn't much time 
    for 100% kills, so I did a circle around the cacodemons to make them
    dizzy, and headed straight for the exit.
         E1M9 was pretty easy too once I figured out that doing the dance
    first got all the former humans and sergents to fight among themselves
    and out of my way later.  Grabbing the chaingun early was a key too,
    and I used up almost all my ammo by the end.
         My free interpretation was E3M9 because it was listed as "hardest".
    That might be true for a Doom Master, but a Speedy Gonzales can run
    right past the cyberdemon, grab the cheese (rocket launcher and
    invincibility, oh yes!), and be out of the room before he knows what
    happened.

Author info:  Who me?  That's a boring subject.  I'm in the Phoenix area
    and I'm open for Deathmatch challenges, or comments about these LMPs.
