Has anyone done better than this amazing effort? Speak now or forever hold your peace :D


Ok I beat it!!!

2.4k and counting. :twisted: (including chute bonus of course, if yours is 2.2 without chute bonus I'm doomed!)

Do your worst ?rjan!


PS: heh, this forum is overrun with kiwis!

:shock: I have 2266 included the bonuses. Thanks for beating me. Its kind of refreshing to be reminded that even though I am the gratest - I'm still just a man 8). I am very exited to see how you did that 2.4k :shock: score. Did you use force? IE did you brute up the starting area with shady energy?

No force as far as I can tell - nothing noticeable anyway :D
I've got a 2.5k now too using the same method but going through a better chute :twisted:

I checked the adding on a calculator just to make sure XD

I want to know kingofthespill's score, and others - get posting guys or I will get slack and stop tweaking :P

I have 2200+ with the bonus. But that's about as far as my method will go. I never thought it was going to win, glad you're doing better :)

Fear not, for I am at 0 :!: (+ #1 chute bonus). No force, no compressed rubber, and no rockets :) . Other methods were frustrating me too much :( .

I lied, I hit $2360, but I'm not trying for anything higher either, good luck to all of you :) Mine could be tweaked more with a lot of patience, but not a lot more. It might hit $2400 if I really worked at it, but I'm done.

Just waiting to see all the solutions at this point.

Running-Armadillo: Asperger's is a form of mild autism. People who suffer from it often become obsessed with details of one specific subject or task. After tweaking my solution, which isn't going to win, for a good long time, I think I understand a little bit of what Asperger's is like too :)

$2360 is 2200+, so you didn't technically lie!
