It's a nice easy level to solve with hopefully lots of different ways to do it.

Posting scores is allowed, but as with the last contest keep your best scores to yourself until the last day so as not to scare people away from playing it.

V4nKw15h, nice level.
You ROCK.

So I notice the 3 metal plates above the Dillo aren't attached to the anchors. I assume there's a hidden reason for this. Give me a hint... :wink:

That's just a catch... Ignore it :lol:
Seriously i dont see a big potencial in those plates.
But what's with the downer part? I don't have any competitive cheap(more-less) method :shock:

Hehe, you guys are too used to me solving everything with a piece of string and half a metal bar :)

That doesn't mean that there is an uber cheap way to get the dillo across the bottom. Personally I didn't plan it to be a super cheap bottom half. However, it is up to you guys to find the cheapest way across there.

Is it possible to turn the corner and throw it a little with the same materials?
Is it possible to make the same materials move it across both the top half and the bottom half?
Is it cheaper to throw the dillo across the top rather than making it go up/down a ramp?
Can enough speed be created to bounce the ball across the bottom?

These are the types of questions I was asking myself while trying to solve this level.

All these questions and more will be answered in a couple of days when the results come in :)

As for the metal plates that hang free at the top.............

My "launcher" uses the metal plates on top and costs 70 or something, so they are useful. (Easily could be a lot less)

Also, great level :D.

Maybe later after a few beer :D

Lot's of solutions so far. Come on, who is first to $800. :D

I'm still waiting to see the cheap way across the top too 8) That means less than $60 to get it over the edge.

Check and Check :)

I think 830 is very possible.

My over-the-top cost $66. :twisted: :twisted:


Now just that bottom part... :?


Edit: I can't figure it out, I don't see any cheap way of doing it. :(

I was messing around with the top part to see what was possible, and I did it for $56. I didn't combine it into a full solution although that is obviously more than possible.
