Got it, easy but expensive. Will try hard and cheap later.
Starting the betting with 2000+

what a distance ! 2200+ L, whole bridging, i guess you can easily do better throwing dillo but i'm no good at that (specially if it comes to dark paddles)

Cresta, thanks for the kind words in the last contest. I was gone for the weekend and couldn't respond 'til now, but to say that mine should beat your masterpiece is absurd. Besides, it's guys like you that I learned those kinds of tricks from anyway. I think this is the first time I've actually pulled it off.
But I don't know what ioncorpse meant about "in 2009th in 'from bottom to top' levels main element is a GRAY paddle?" Where's the 2009th?

I'll try my luck at this one next.
:)

EDIT: I think I'm missing something. It's a tuffy.

2nd EDIT: I was. I can see 2200+ L. Not impressive enough to raise, though.
OK, 2240+ L

2280+

So, Cresta, do you have a light thrower for this level? :shock:

Ok, I raise 2283+ :oops:
I'm also curious if it's even possible to make a light thrower that can cover that distance..................

Any1 else going Dark on this? I have no idea to make something Light that lets the dillo travel such a long distance. :oops:

I'll try a dark one, since we have time. But you are right - that's a long way to throw the dillo...

As far as going light, I'll let Cresta give you a hint if he wants. But let's just say, there's something there that you're missing, as I also was at the beginning. :wink:

crap don't tell me i'm going to go through the "dark joke" situation again ?!

btw, if you're going to give a *precise* score, dont put a "+" at the end, scores are integers...

edit: finished a paddle XD -> 2700+ D

No, it's nothing like ioncorpse's Dark Joke. I was just trying to help LoLz0r find a light solution. Maybe I should keep my mouth shut.

But I'm not sure what you mean by this...

If I list my precise score, I won't put a "+" after it.
