The exact rule is your minimum speed is the lower of 250 or Mach .70, so as long as either your airspeed is above 250 or your mach is above .70, you're good to go. So if you're doing 242 KIAS at Mach .72, you are above the lower of 250/.70, and you're okay. (At your current altitude, you can look at the speed tape and notice that Mach .70 is lower than 250 KIAS, so .70 is the lower of the two and becomes your minimum limit). Seems confusing at first, but once you figure it out it's pretty straightforward.EXACTLY 242 is LESS than 250 so you cant do it!
