Armadillo Run forum

Welcome to the CCIX A contest: Catch

A fun one after the heavy physics stuff.
Its easy, but tends to be scruffy, so...
A special mention goes to the tidiest solution.
You've even got Saturday to polish it off. (and even longer if I haven't got 5 contributors by then!)
Have fun.

I guess I'll start it off at 5885+L

Hmm... can't PM my solution... do you have an email address instead?

$5900+L

$5916+ edit: $5922!

My catcher rocks!

Oh dear! They're bluffing (and I should know!)

Don't let them put you off!
The best solution I have is between 5780 an 5820
Can any of the other 11 out there match that with a fun solution?

I don't think they are bluffing

My first try was 5926 and 5945+ is possible if one can get lucky with the catch. I got very very close but after 45 mins of random tweaks to try and catch it I think I've given up. But who knows, with 3 days left I might have a bored 10 minutes and get the lucky catch.

Agreed.
I have a 5930+ I'm working on, but haven't perfected the tweak yet.
But I'd like to see 5945.

5935+ done with an easy catch. Took only 2 minutes to catch it after getting the idea.

Well, I have ideas from 3 people.

I could do with some answers in the 5800s.
Come on, you other 13 loaders! I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours.

What the hell, 5930, is the catcher supposed to be floating?

Oh well, I've submited a 5878, but I still have no idea how I got it to work...

Edit: 5918!
