At this rate you're gonna beat my 1930 :lms:

By the way, markmadras, do you really plan your solutions on a drawing board before constructing them? :D

Okay, that's getting better. That's two challengers over 1900.

I don't know whether you want to hear it but hopefully you are enjoying being pushed.

1950+++ :lms:

BTW, I'm not constantly refining my solution to beat you guys.
I sent my finished solution to Mikee early yesterday and I very much doubt I will go back and tweak the last $10-20 off it. I'm sure it's beatable, but not by much.

This is just an English saying meaning I am going to think again about the solution or problem. :wink:

Your score has lost 1000. I am sure you meant 2950+++ :lms: and yes some competition is good, that is what makes the game such good fun :)

Lets try 2960+++ :lms:

Cool, and yeah Overlord put me off saying 1930+.

3000+++ :lms:

PS. I have no intention to tweak my solution further, but I'll keep raising while I can. Good luck, you are closing in on me. :)

I give up, 3000+ L is too far-fetched for me...

I know, but the way you used it last time made me think you were really doing it (which is not a bad idea actually) :D

OK, good contest, but I am nearing my limit. I tweaked up to 2999L yesterday and just managed to get 3009L ,this might just go to 3029L if I have the time.

What have you got left in all those +++++'s

EDIT. Just got the 3029L a 3049 I think is out of reach

EDIT, EDIT. Then again, it's a 3069 that is out of reach. My final score is 3049 :lms: :)

When I first started to play the game I did make a few sketches trying to work out solutions, but now I go straight to the screen and work it out from there. I found I was having ideas on paper that would not work on AR, so no more sketches :) .

Vank, I will try to push you slightly closer to your score. I don't like those 3 plusses, though.

3020+ L

Last minute for me as usual. :)

Hehe, this was a fun competition to take part in. It's fun to watch you all pushing those scores higher and higher, especially when they were all down in the 2700's to start with.

It's nice for me because I don't have much time and I knew I could lay down a solution close to max without needing many hours to do it, so I got a chance to compete once again.

So we have a few breaking into the 3000's now, cool. Keep going, time is running out.

3050++ :lms:

I'm hoping someone beats me because I don't have a level prepared, well not on this computer. I'm fairly sure I have one ready on my work computer but I'm not back there until Friday. We will have to see what happens though. From experience I know many of you guys under quote your scores, so I could already be beaten, and I know my solution isn't the max. I think it's possible to tweak $20-$30 off what I did given enough time and experimentation.
