[decsystem10]

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

$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.

[V4nKw15h]

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

[decsystem10]

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.

[Jordix]

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!
