Plenty to keep us experimenting with here.
I've fluked into an early solution that "feels" unbeatable.... :lol: Sounds familiar, right?
But I've seen potential from alternative near miss flukes that might be tweaked to fruition. Fingers crossed... (do armadillos have fingers? :? )


111+ to start. :D

Nah - I think mines "unbeatable" - but not by score!

It fascinates me how a quick "let's try this" works very early, and tiny fiddles with any of it completely messes it up.

Anyway 110 for now :)

{come on all you silent watchers - someone out there must be able to beat me ! ]

Not sure if the 110 was meant to outbid my 111+, or if a solution of 110 is quite simply "unbeatable." :lol:


But I have a 222+ and plenty more to come. :D

I agree about quickly it falls apart. An early "wow that was close" became a nowhere near with the tiniest of adjustments, but trying to fix something else then fluked an excellent result.
I'd call this one of those "emergent" challenges. What you finish up with, is nothing like what you planned at the start.

My solution is decent at least ^^

444+ and liking it.

But I've done that recently, too, (liking it, I mean) and was proven badly wrong. :lol:

777+

I think something else might be possible too... But not sure I will be able to do it.. It reuires a lot of tweaking which could be random... ^^

But I like this challenge quite a bit :)

Well, I wish I could go 888, but I can't. :(

Have to settle for 800+ for now.
