>Some, but you've not really paid attention to what is above or below you after a point; that would take a moment to assess.

> Based on the speed and depth of the horizontal lines, as well as how long we have been at it between then, could we mentally determine if we are still restricted above or below by them?

Okay, that addresses pretty much all of the long string of following questions.

> Given we are still sort-of-sandwiched between the two long horizontal lines, can we actually go down far enough to go under the high bullets, or up far enough to go over the low ones?
