The good thing about the level is that it has a very different concept than usual. The stuff about trying and failing is somewhat true though. All the woble woble - rubber. I prefer as less rubber as possible. The hero has now spoken and you can all return to your tweaking. Hush, hush!

I see I have some hard learning to do. My solution isn't even 2600, so considering how many are 2750+ and now even 2820+...

Well, it is my first A league at this game, and I've only been playing for a few days... Maybe a force to be reckoned with :) (hopefully)

edit: Being a noob, I'll appologize now if I'm asking something inappropriate, but... of the users who have been posting their alleged scores here, which of those would be light and which are dark? Do most people use the FORCE here? I am curious to see what the highest points are going to be for a light entry on this level :)

Posted scores are light unless specified dark. Per the A-league rules only light solutions count towards the win, but dark solutions are allowed; and special dark awards are given if the best dark solution excedes the best light solution. :twisted:

For best reference here, refer to the previous contest results posts in the forum. It's also the best way to learn some great minimalist techniques from the pros like Orjan and all the other multi-time winners.

Why special awards? The best dark solution gets dark medal, that is equal to light medal. Certainly, you are right that it happens only when dark solution is cheaper then the winning light.
