Hrm.. I'm looking at a 4 somewhere in my current score :twisted:

The material choices make it interesting!

Well, it really does have some strange effects, doesn't it? I count one new form of perpetual motion machine and one new way to make solid objects pass through each other.

I've beaten 3000. Don't think I will be coming anywhere near 4000.

That's nothing, I have a 7 somewhere in my current score! :P

Actually some the bugs might be new to Peter Stock, so we might as well collect them. I suspect that this type of level was not tested enough before the current version was released. I saw my own test solution produce a small amount of perpetual motion. :roll:

My initial, straightfoward, solution has me at about $3000. Not sure what else I can come up with...

That's funny in many ways Peter :)

Well, that seems like a great starting point to me, my initial solution was just around 2400.

You have me at a disadvantage, I just hope your 4 was in the same place as my 7 is :twisted:

Well let's just say there's a 7 and a 4 hanging round somewhere :shock:

I see a possible length tweak but as of right now.. I don't see how to improve on what I have. The solutions for this one are either going to all be the same or insanely different.

My bet is on very similar, again, due to material restrictions.

New player here, I'm over $3500, but I don't see how it's getting any better. Can't wait to see the winners!

I'm amazed at some of the results you all have gotten. I cant wait to see them. Being cheap really isnt my thing, I like to make very complex structures and could care less if it cost 50,000!

I do not believe that it will occur, but what happens, if several best solutions with the same result are submitted?

Btw, I already submitted my first solution 8), tired of tweaking now. Maybe I try a totally different concept again.

Crikey, this is proving tricky.


Right: 1540 left, it's a terrible, terrible method that I'm going to submit as alternate.
