  Added speedrun: 485 moves (old: 492).
Reupload speedrun with final configuration figured out by computer.

  Added speedrun: 485 moves (old: 487).
I have to admit that I wrote a program to figure out the final configuration. At least the block pushing part in this speedrun is not by computer...

  I've been using the random method trying to solve this and it is clearly not working..lol...best Ive done is 2 of them 10 apart with the middle one 8 off. Ive also had 2 of them 7 apart to at least get an odd number in there.

  That's pretty much the crux of it. 4-spacing is pretty common because even counts are much easier than odd ones. Obviously, either one or two of these must be odd.

  I keep ending up with a difference of 4 for the first two :( (the third is either far behind or the same as one of the other two.) Is this on the tracks of one of those near-miss solutions?

  So, a valid solution to this requires modifying the timers such that if x is the time of the first timer, the three timers must be x, x+5, and x+10 long, and x must be greater than or equal to 50 it seems (around 45 steps to get to below the 1 block) and must be less than or equal to 245. (unless I made a mistake)
