It was a nice contest with many different approaches. Great job, everyone! And the winner is...
A tie at 952, between Votart and Ioncorpse! Impressive how different your solutions were, despite the identical scores. I will let you two decide who hosts the next contest. (Votart submitted first, if you need a tie-breaker)
A very close third place, only $4 behind, was mi2 with yet another unique solution!
A special shout out goes to clwillingham for the amazing dedication needed to tweak his bridge. Look at that improvement!
Also note decsystem's first approach. Going over the top was a unique path that is impressive, considering the gravity.
And by the way, markmadras' solution looks almost identical to my POC. I wonder if we share a brain...
Great work, everyone!
