Hi, All!

I have tweaked all solutions, except one
In all solutions I used other catcher which can catch everything, though markmadras too is very inventive. It is a pity that V4nkw15h has not sent the his solution. I ask to pay yours attention to the solutions with result 1804. Very powerful.

Winner markmadras with result 1808

Result after tweaking 1816

My congratulations!!!

I didn't see much point in submitting my solution when Jim and Mark said they had solved it using my method.

Jim's 1798 was identical to my quick solution, and I never played it again to try and tweak down to 5 plates or even attempt a cheap catcher.

Maybe in a couple of weeks I will have time to play properly again.

You didn't think to use my catcher in the tweak, Votart. For shame! A few minutes gave me this:

Nice stuff! Never thought of putting the cloth across the plates. What a power-increaser.

I thought I might just have the edge on that contest but it was all in the last day after catching what Vankwish was hinting at, so thanks to Vankwish I get first place and amazingly, as has happened before, I also have the most expensive solution.

That is clear use of Dark force putting the cloth through the falling plates, when it's in the right place it must be increasing the collision response, I had better send that to Peter just in case it is something new. It works for now but probably won't in Beta2.

Just for fun I did it with four plates with just one cloth and Jims catcher and got 1836. I guess it would also work with 3 plates it just needs the time to find the spot where it comes alive.

Just as I am writing this I see Sendai45 has put in an 1840, well done. Is your catcher in the results Sendai

New contest coming shortly

...huh. I must have forgotten to submit my final solution. ah well. it was nowhere near your, so it doesn't matter.

Hey Sendai, that catcher still works if you remove the bar between one of the top bars and the right hand anchor, it is a bit wobbly but I got close to catching the Dillo, with a little more time 1850 would be possible.
