    My duck has travelled 8500 nautical miles in 2 days and 7 hours, has anyone done more in this amount of time?

    That'd be going at 155knots, which is faster than possible, so no.

    No it's actually travelling between 124-126 knots and I'm not lieing it has actually travelled 8500 in 2 days and 7 hours but I don't think this is fast enough to win...

    It cannot have travelled 8500miles in that time.

    8500/55 (the hours in 2 days 7 hours) = 154.5, far faster than the 126knot maximum. Are you sure you don't have 8500miles left to go?

    In that case expect to be disqualified, it's simply not possible to do that without some major game bug or cheating.

    I haven't cheated, you can't and I wouldn't know how to anyway. I have simply cared for my duck and I think the only reason it has reached that amount of miles is due to the fact that I haven't really slept in the 2 days and 7 hours, so I have been caring for it and topping it up quite a bit. O2 cannot disqualify me as I have not cheated :)

    Yes, they can, because once again, that time is simply not possible.

    The fastest you can go is 126knots, the furthest distance you can cover in 2 days 7 hours is 6930 nautical miles. To go further than that you have to either a: cheat, or b: have the game bug out. In both cases they CAN disqualify you, and if you finish with an average speed of higher than 126knots there is no doubt that they will.

    Nothing is impossible :)..you may think that's all you can do in 2 days 7 hours because you have mathematically worked it out but I'm afraid you can do more without cheating. I have not cheated and O2 can check this and they will see I have not cheated. Last year the winner managed to complete the race in just over 3 day's, calling them a cheat as well now are you?
