Hi Steven, thanks for your submission.

I copy-pasted that link from another topic.
No special rules, posting of scores allowed.

You need to tweak a lot (a LOT) to get close to my poc.

I've got a beautiful solution from Cresta. I thought i blocked of the path you chose. It's completely different from mine.

800+L over the top was lots of fun to make.
I suck at swingy things though, so I won't even bother with that. (650+)

You like to suck at swingy things? :shock:
Two very nice solutions, good to see a second entry over 800...

820+, but I have a feeling Cresta has at least 850. Lots of tweaking to do.

Welcome back, TS.

These kinds of throwers and "swingy things" are also not my forte. (I won't say I suck at them. :) )

But I do have a halfway decent dark at 850+.

rob, no worries about your level being too easy.
Nice and challenging like B league should be. At least for me. :wink:

You hear that phrase from time to time.
Maybe it's from Italians. There are a few here. :)


Best I've got for this one is 730 L :cry:

"not my forte".
In English, Fort actually comes from the French (spiacente, Cresta!) for the strong part of the sword blade, since 1648, and became something you do well as early as 1682 !
The "e" was added in the 1700's as an analogy with the Italian, for the same meaning.
In English we use it a lot.
