I can taste 5870+ but cant quite reach it, but the lack of score posting from the big guns worries me.

What qualifies as a 'big gun'?

The reason that they aren't posting isn't because they have much higher scores, it's because they are stuck on 5870-5890 and don't want anyone to beat them by $2.

Anyone who has a score over 5890 is a complete maniac, so 5870+ may well be the winner.

Now that is a big gun!

[Malco]

I dont think I can put it any better than that Dragon

There was one German gun that never made it to final service as it got bombed just prior to it's completion.

It dwarfed the Gustav.

It had a barrel length of over 150 meters. (approximately 45 stories or so) and would have fired projectiles 165+km.

The Gustav, however, saw some service and was by no stretch of the imagination small

There you have it, BFC has the biggest gun

[dudiobugtron]

5870+ may well be the winner.

Agree. I submitted my solution on monday, it is 5800+, but 5890? No, not me.
Btw, a question to our norwegian friends: What does ESSELUKT mean

[Aaron]

I think it must mean 'good luck' ?

[Toa the Boa]

Something like that....

[snowlord]

Some facts:

Fact 1: Swedish is very much like Norwegian.

Fact 2: "Lukt" means "smell" in Swedish.

Fact 3: "Toa" means "toilet" in Swedish.

Fact 4: Toa the Boa's avatar is .... what it is.

[Toa the Boa]

Hmm. What is it, I wondah!

[?rjan Flatseth]

Its a common word among norwegian farmers when you use eight donkeys to carry timber. There are many words in swedish that is almost similair with norwegian, but the meaning is some times almost oposite.

My best this time was only $5858, and I was going to send it in this morning, but my internet was out at home. So you get nothing from me this time! I don't expect it was particularly novel anyway.

When is 1900 UTC acually? :p
