ARF Contest B #XXXVI Results

Hello tweakers,
here are the results.

I have to say that there is a sticky situation. The special rule said that it is forbidden to buld anything on the left from the red line. But the term "build" can be understood as "constructing, forming a structure". Adding a rope doesn't build anything, and it is logically. So, I can't disqualify Wolter's solutions just because I haven't explained the rule clearly. So...

:lms: Overlord (3810) and WolterW (4508)
:dms: Cresta (4602) and WolterW (4708)

Free for your suggestions about this situation. Congratulations to winners and great thanks to all submitters!

NickyNick, I appreciate your Salomonic decision but I rather prefer to withdraw my solutions from this specific contest. Please make Overlord and Cresta the only winners of this competition. Thanks.

If I saw the first post before wolterw, I'd withdraw my solution, making wolterw the only light contestant.

Dang! 206 dollar difference between my solution and the proof of concept :o

I'm not even worthy of having a computer :lol:

But if you say so and if you agree, wolterw...

Will make the next level soon.

I don't want to do this. It was my mistake in formulation of the special rule, so it is honestly. Sorry

If you guys think that it is not in my jurisdiction to award two light and two dark medals, I'll be glad to transmit one of my light & dark medals to make this awarding legal. I'm going to correct my stupid mistake anyway, so here is the plan :)

Don't do that, I don't need a medal. I'm just glad I kinda got mentioned in the first post 8)

Oh, and I clearly understood the additional rules :wink:

NickyNick, I recognize that my interpretation of the rules was at least questionable and most probably incorrect. I would like to withdraw my solutions from this contest. Please eliminate them. Thanks.

You know my opinion about all this. Let's leave forming the decision to the "Great Council of Lazy" :)

haha, brilliant idea.

I believe the Great Council has spoken, they said (in a booming voice which would rattle your armour plating):
"We don't care, whatever is the least work. Let someone else make the deicision".

So NickyNick's decision stands - everyone gets a medal ;) I'll go add them on now.

Sorry... I didn't want to offend you. I just don't feel myself ably to rule here :(

Haha, don't worry, as the contest host you basically get to make the rules. =P

However, I just wanted to see what everyone else thought before putting the medals up. If everyone was really annoyed then you might change your mind.
But, it seems like noone cares (except overlord and wolterw) so I apologise for making a big deal out of it :oops:
