Giochi Senza Frontiere (have you ever seen it? )

I googled it, and yes i've seen the Dutch version. We call it "Spel Zonder Grenzen"
My solution is already sent, but as long as i'm alone here there's no need to post any scores yet.

You are not alone, post away.
Give me something to shoot for.

The Metal Plate is lots of help!900+L
Took a bit to tweak the solution to work

[decsystem10]

oh
Are these scores white as the driven snow (we have a lot), or are they using the thaumatic powers of bars on pivots?

[rob]

Lets up that to 910+ and it's as light as can be.

[Cresta]

I got 2 perfectly light solutions!
But you two killed my contest by posting that scores...!

I know it's a problem. Posting high scores scares people off. On the other hand, people posting high scores pushed me to start the game up and tweak the level a bit more.

Had a quick go at work. 916 in less than 10 minutes. That's me finished. Hehe.

[rob]

916

Now THAT triggered me to have an other go at this level. On the other hand, only people that score good in B levels posting here.

Maybe for the next A contest people that ever won a contest shouldn't be allowed to post scores, but all others can post them. Vet's shouldn't see A-levels as just another oppertunity to show off their skills but as a means to lure new people into participating. Maybe allow talking about how you solved it to help new people on their way. (Of course you can silently tweak your monsterscore)
I think with B-levels posting of scores should stay because it pushes people to tweak their solutions to the max.

[Cresta]

That could be an idea...
Maybe the contest host could decide to reveal what scores are reached when he wants, just to keep the competition alive!

For example, I have to say you there is one light solution over 916...

[rob]

I already feared there was. I've been trying to tweak it 2 better, but keep failing. I have a completely different poc as wel that is a little more expensive. Maybe i should retweak that.

It would require some more effort from the host, but it might work to keep it interesting for vets.

[V4nKw15h]

I got lucky getting that solution so fast.

I don't have much interest in AR at the moment, but I do tend to take a look at every level for 10-15 minutes. Usually I have nothing interesting by that time and don't come back.

There is nothing particularly clever about my solution. I stumbled onto a clean solution quickly.

I simply got lucky and I hope someone beats me.

[JimCDubb]

I also have a 916+ L, but I have a feeling TS is laying in the weeds.

I like rob's ideas about posting. They are good suggestions for hosts to use to keep it interesing.

greetings fellow earthlings


my first post
and first contest
and yes the already posted 900+ scores are daunting 808 was best I could do in the time (truthfully I havent explored time differences here) I'm in Oz ...where does that put me in relation to arma forum time? (no doubt a question pertaining to another topic that I failed to search for) time constraints

anyhow I look forward to meeting you all somewhere down the track/cloth/metalplate etc
fare thee well
