$224. It was part of a 7 segment run for that price (T fare).

Going for 1P.

Your time is the fastest I have heard so far. ^ I believe you were benefited from ( in addition to weather):

1. slow air traffic period in air and airport
2. red-eye departure time and early moring arrival and departure time.
Also, from the fact it was a Tues night and Weds morn.

Your story ranks right up there with the story (I heard on FT) about someone did US-SIN-US roundtrip back-to-back.
It's kind of cool that we pax can do this stuff that even crews cannot (they are constrained to only fly a limited number of hours, with breaks between flights).

I'm addicted and want to try this again... too bad I don't have enough time...
