stub end; cigarette stub end... i.e. FF's saying he's tweaked the most he can out of that particular solution, and he needs a new method!

yea, minimalist solutions don't leave many options for tweaking and you can only tweak it so much. They are still cool as a form of art though.

I'm not sure how to get the 2800, but I'm starting to think that is a bluff.

well... I have a solution for 2950! <----------------really obvious bluff, lol

lol.

It's probably some technique I haven't learned yet, or something.

The 2950 really was a bluff, but I guess it could be possible to get a 2900 without tension, but only theoretically.

I'll probably send in my minimalist solution and maybe another one just for fun.

Oh yea, I think I figured out what you did to get it to 2702, unless we are talking about different solutions. However I got it to 2696, but can't tweak much further as the higher the tension, the more it vibrates.

2816L+ :wink:
Cool level, but... tweak, tweak, tweak. Balance - the main factor, strange...

Yeah, balancing sometimes becomes insane. Personally I like such levels, because perfectly balanced and tweaked structure always looks amusing. 2825+ Light, btw :wink:

yea, even balance is a factor in my 2696 solution because the tension causes the cloth to vibrate back and forth, and so I need dillo to not fall off.

Might as well talk a little about the solution since I already sent it in and this contest is over tomorrow anyways.

I didn't reveal anything critical and you guys will see them in not too long anyways.
