I’m going to take the bold, brave stance that RUN/HIDE [6/6] is too hard when playing solo.
Is it *possible* solo? Yes. I’ve *almost* done it myself, many times! I’ve been within 40 seconds of doing it! I can see that it’s possible.
But it is not calibrated well. The swarm of counter-hackers when the timer nears the end is particularly cruel. Bleh.
