So, remember when one person inspected for 30 seconds on a relay? Remember all the flamming that went on due to it being a DNF due to inspection time? Dan Cohen even posted a sub 2 2-5 relay, but it had 16 second inspection. So was that a +2 or no penalty (making the difference between sub 2 and sup 2)

I think it's time we make a poll in order to create a general consensus as to which one is accepted. 15 seconds total inspection or 15 seconds per cube.

I was about to put that in, but it kind of defeats the point of 15 seconds per cube (basically it's 30 seconds inspection, not 30s max because a relay has to have more than 1 cube)

15 seconds total, because IMO you should have 15 seconds of inspection per event. Although you are doing a bunch of puzzles together, you only get one time out of it, so you should only have one 15s inspection period.

PS: If you think it should be per puzzle, wouldn't the 5x5x5 be equivalent to solving a babyface 3x3x3 + solving a normal 3x3x3 + other stuff? Would that mean that you should have at least 30s inspection on a 5x5x5 solve?
