Some amazing tweaking going on there in first and second place... I like how the rocket comes back to push the dillo back.

On a compression geek note, see how the results file is so small? That's because it's set to solid mode. Unless you're spending a lot of time modifying existing archives you should always use solid mode.
In WinRAR under Options|Settings, go to the Compression tab, click "create default..." and tick the "create solid archive" box, and set compression method to "best".
Then you'll never have to remember to do it. With AR level files the actual difference is measured in a few KB but the relative difference is massive (always at least half the size).
Anyway, that's completely off topic but it pains me to see poorly compressed files.

Congrats mark_man, especially at such a difficult time! I'm looking forward to the next level...

Thanks for the tip ,I have followed them instructions and we will see at the end of my comp if it has worked .I have a level so I will be back soon with it

I likes robs the most but all are very good

Interesting compression tip - I don't use compression at all apart from AR results, and de-compressing downloaded files (game mods, mostly).

Ever since WinRAR ceased being free some years ago, I've been using 7zip.
I can see the solid option of WinRAR (I installed it for the free 30 day trial, and it does still work afterwards, but becomes nagware/pesterware).
But I don't see any similar choices for 7zip. Not even the 6 different levels of compression, never mind the "solid" option on top.

So, I'm wondering, is a solid archive peculiar to WinRAR?


Meanwhile, well tweaked, Mark_man.
I rebuilt my tower similar to yours, but it came out at the same price, and didn't work as well, so I didn't change. I missed the trick at the top, though, so I could have saved $30 had I worked it out.

I also like how "clean" Rob's solution is.

Congrats markman, great solution!

I'm glad you guy's liked my humble solution while I didn't even came around to submitting my final
