Welcome to 262st A Contest: Curtain

RULES Back to the old Light and Dark rules, you may use welding in the Light solutions.

For every curtain with holes inside you pass you will get an extra bonus of 100$ and for every Curtain you drop you will loose 100$.

that means. if you pass all 5 curtainĀ“s without dropping them you will get 500$ extra. example your final score is 1600$ + 500$ = 2100$. so its possible to reach a score higher than the score you start with :) . hope you like this idea

Thats better, all back to normal and I have changed the last contest back to its first page. :)

My first solution is not much higher than Votarts opening bid (a little high imo) so I will not be bidding until I have something much better.

I have not found a good Dark solution yet but have cut the cost on my Light one, still think there must be a cheaper way.

And has not heard from you the answer to my question: it is necessary for a bonus that curtains have not fallen or through a hole in a curtain to pass.


ok lets say you have to go at least through 4 hole on the light way. on dark solution it dose not matter anyway :?

Hi, Guys!
It's been a very busy summer for me, both at work and at home. This is the first chance I've had to drop in and say Hi. Glad to see you're keeping it going. Hopefully things will slow down soon and I'll have time to come back...
:D

Good to see you're still with us, I thought we had lost you :D

About the contest, I can't see how you got so high scores, it's too hard to navigate through the ropes with no anchors being near, so I'll skip on this one.

Hi Jim, nice to see you are still around and may be back with us soon.

Overlord, you surprise me, tackling this solution is not that hard, I got through all five on a Light solution without too much tweaking but had to use a lot of rope. Having said that and even after tweaking a bit off I think Votart may have something a lot better :? , can't imagine how though :? :? :?

Only a day to go so I'll push it up to 1645+ :lms:

HELP ME!!!
I cannot achieve the distinct answer from mi2 :( . What is the condition for bonus reception: not fallen curtain or pass through a hole in not fallen curtain?
:!: :!: :!: If enter special rules register them accurately and clearly, without double sense :!: :!: :!:

As I understand it:
You must pass through the hole in the curtain without dropping it in order to get the bonus.

I hope this will make it clear for you :) bonus reception = pass through a hole in not fallen curtain
