AR2 A 250 Indiana Results
Posted: Fri May 17, 2013 5:13 pmWOW. What a challenge. 
Indiana certainly still has “screen appeal” going by the level of enthusiasm shown by everyone.
25 solutions from 7 players, plus 9 POCs, and the most entertaining and surprising variety seen for a very long time.
So, WELL DONE EVERYONE for having a go.
But there can only be one winner. (cue fanfare)
For his economical use of “Rob-tech” launchers, and the perfect amount of “suspense” at the collapsing portal catcher, the Golden Idol goes to Rob, scoring 1836.
Runner-up goes to Markman, scoring 1815, for a similar solution. While this could be tweaked to 1827 it remains stuck in second, and way ahead of third.
RedCarpet awards go to:
- KuzyaHG, scoring 1787 for his temporary suspense of the grey boulder, before using it to hustle all three dillos into the portal. Alex had a similar idea, but was pipped to the award by Kuzya's clever use of existing resources, creating a portal catcher by lifting the floor, making this an exceptional performance.
- SketchyGalore scoring 1785 (and easily tweakable to 1800 with cheaper launchers for green and red) for holding the lead until the very last day, and giving the old hands a proper run for their money. His non-dark trapdoor breaker in 1631-TempleofSketchy is a dynamic marvel of (non) special effects.
- Andrew (aka Tim) for some superb and unique Trapdoor choreography, with exquisite timing of separated components for Marion to scramble over.
The box-office cult title for best non-dark entry goes to:
Alex, scoring 1765 in a similar boulder-suspense thriller to Kuzya, but utilising a purely light catcher.
Best Dramatic Rescue goes to Dec10, for getting Indy to don a jetpack before flying over to rescue Marion before she fell and hurt her knee. Dec10 also wins the award for Best Stunt, with Marion flying like no dillo has flown before, and using Indy’s head as a landing pad, in UsetheWhip. Best Romance also goes to Dec10, for KissandSqueeze.
And don’t miss the bonus footage in 1491 POC1, where Marion uses the whip for a Tarzan act not seen in any other entries. The other POCs also show alternative launchers for all three dillos, and yet another way of handling the trapdoor. UltraPOC - Catcher of Death proves I had no chance of winning my own challenge.
“I’d like to thank my family, the director, the catering staff, the dog and cat, the stunt dillos whose bravery and commitment to putting their lives in peril knows no bounds, Peter Stock for creating the original concept, and lastly.... World Peace.”

Particularly "catchers" at the end of puzzles seem to have me banging my head against my desk. I KNEW there was a way to use the breaker from the trap door (or improvised explosive charge, as I like to think of it) as a ramp... somehow.
