Not quite as well as they do. But I can get close to those times... if I have a key! :wink:

Those are some impressive times aright. I have picked a medeco vending machine plunger type lock before which has no top pins just sidebar but I knew what the cuts and angles were and it was mounted in a vise not in a vending machine. It was repeatable so it was not a fluke chance happening. I would like to see competitions like that here in the states on a yearly basis. :D
