Indeed. It certainly isn't as easy as it looked.
But I think that's a good thing. It's a very nice challenge. Because it does have a lot of different options.
It's a very intellectual challenge, where XmasTree was an endurance challenge.
I've tested a few different ideas and have not come close yet.

It's nice to have so many days to let this one sink in, because I can't even choose which idea to develop first.
But I will have at least one solution before the end. :twisted:

In the meantime, Arunion takes another early lead....... :lol:

Happy new year ^^

And I like my early leads. At least I get to seem competitive, for a while ^^

Happy New Year everyone.

Brrrrrrr!
(You know, from the freezing cold water from the "dip" on boxing day....)

Sorry for the late start. I have been very distracted, and lacking somewhat in inspiration.
I spent a long time trying to decide which of the many alternative options to try first.
But, I think I've got a pretty decent solution. It certainly makes all of my other attempts look inefficient..... :twisted:

So, I'm going to double the bid. This is the last day, after all.

666+ :D

Managed to finish one of the "for fun" solutions. About $200 off the pace.
The others are proving to be just too difficult. 2hrs sleep doesn't help.

1666+ :twisted:

Haha. Yeah a lack of proper sleep tends to prevent focus ^^

1700+ ^^

Happy New Year everybody.
I just got this, so I allowed myself 2014 seconds to sort it.
That means it works but it's even more off the pace (but it is clean).
