Snowlord wins the Light with 382
Dark medal goes to Ioncorpse with 556

Congratulations to both for the amazing solutions presented.

There may be some doubts about Snowlord solution was classified as light.
Criteria I used for this: Welding is permitted and accepted as "light" as long as it does not, expontaneusly, explodes the intersecting material. This is the case in Snowlord solution. The cloth only tears up under the impact of the falling metal sheet.

I was a little surprised to see that all submissions gave the same remedy to the headache by dropping the AR directly in to right side of the nose. No one went to the top thru the brains.
My solution, not competing obviously, choses a different route: the left side of the nose. I am including it in the package just for the delight of the "light solution" fans.

very nice Snowlord
but the wolterw's solution is brilliant! looks like that we've got new light brainiac
also - gratz to Ioncorpse, who becomes the new Champion of the Darkness!

I have a question. Watch this solution. Right when it starts the clothe explodes, but if you remove the rope/bar on both ends of the plate and press start, the clothe doesn't explode immediately. Which means that its only the weight on the plate that makes the clothe explode. Would that make this light or dark? Isn't it the same thing as the winning solution here? Welding + weight = explosion

The rules here are getting confusing

It's light IMO
As I understand this, the dark effect consists in immediate explosion of overlapped pieces

yeah nickynick is right imo

I would classify the Test solution you just sent as "Light". The cloth clearly explodes under the weight of the metal sheet.
That solution however is slightly different from the one you first submitted that goes attached. Remove bar/rope and you will see that the cloth immediately explodes when you press start ( as much as my bionic x-ray view tells me). As I told you by mail, I considered that particular solution as being Dark.
Comments on this issue are wellcome.

Ya, i tweeked it once i saw that welding + weight + explosion was light just as an example. Too bad i didn't know that earlier or I woulda come out a good 20 bucks ahead

I will get a new comp up later tonight.
