As Cresta said in the opening thread, you have to subtract the cost of the ropes and timers from your solution and use that score in the saved name. The easiest way to do that is to delete the ropes and timers from your completed solution, then make a note of the score without ropes and timers. Then you can undo the deletions until you get back to your original solution. Save your solution using the score in the name that you had without ropes and timers. It would be a good idea to save your solution first before doing any of this.

No competitive score for me yet. Overlord set the bar a little high. :P

My solutions are pretty average, nothing special there, except the excessive use of ropes and timers. Shouln't be a problem for any of you to beat them (just try) and who knows, I might be bluffing :wink:

4936 :lms: 4934 :dms:

Thank you to JimCDudd for explaining the scoring, fairly obvious now :oops: I should have read it more carefully.

Is Overlord's dark solution a bluff, can't see any way of gaining another $12

Kinda wish I would of read the tread before working on mine. Got a level done without using timers :/

You want to change the rules making bars free too? :P

It's that plus sign on Overlord's dark that bothers me. :?

Didn't think I could do it but half an hour of tweaking and now 4946 :dms: I think that is it for Dark, possibly the plus sign was the bluff Overlord hinted at. After my tweak on the dark solution I now know there is a little room left to adjust my light solution so it is now 4936+ :lms:
