Welcome to B League contest # CIX - Boing.

A nice easy one that hopefully everyone can enjoy. It follows my formula of easy to solve, difficult to perfect.

4762 L, but I am trying to catch you, ioncorpse.
Are you going to do a dark solution? I want to learn from the Champion of Darkness.

No, i don't want to create dark this time. Also i will not try to create light solution for right side (through hole in right wall). I have only solution for left side, but its catcher is tweakable, I hope i'll have time to tweak it.

I'm trying to go left, but it seems it's impossible to take the amadillo back inside the boundaries once it go out... I managed to let it fall perfectly attached to the wall but it doesn't interact with the metal plates I put under..
Did you vankwish tested if it was possible to do such a trick?

Interesting find. That was unintentional. Good luck to anyone who might find a way to utilise it. That would require some very clever trickery to get it out there and keep it close enough to the wall to pull it back in again. It will not be cheap either.

What's the cheapest you can get the ball into the shoot on the left side? Anyone realised why I called it Boing yet?

Edit: No Cresta. The gap in the wall was a mistake, but an interesting one. I'm surprised that you can't get it back in if you kept it so close to the wall though. Rubber could get it back in but then the cost would make it pointless other than for novelty.

I have not figured out yet why you called it Boing, but I have a couple ideas.
Anyway, my cheapest throws into the shaft are $58 D and $70 L, but I haven't been able to make the $70 one work in my best solution: 4777+ L

Boing is cheaper than both :) .... and light

I tried 30 Light for a while if that's what you mean. I couldn't get it close though.

No, a little more than that, but it definitely goes boing.

Boy, still trying to find that Boing concept. I found two different ways to get it more than halfway across, but no better than that.

Edit: Hey, V, it'd be a lot easier if you happened to mention how much Boing costs. We know it's between $30 and $58...

Well that could be unfair if someone actually found it already. I'll give you a clue though because you obviously find it interesting to look for it.

Think of ioncorpse's jackhammer solution to the Galaxy level, but not dark. It's perfectly light using regular physics.
