There and back again :) lets start with 8300++ :lms:

Can I clarify if it is OK to connect anything to the same anchor point that the metal plate is on :?:

As long as it doesn't interfere with the plate's ballance it's ok.

Are you sure you didn't rise it too much? Remember, only ultralight solutions win - no intersecting.

Of course that's not dark, the materials overlap, but they do not intersect. The instersection occurs only if two metal bars, metal plates, pieces of cloth, rockets or rubbers overlap.

Don't diss the level just because mi2 launchers aren't allowed :D Well, imagine what would it be if there wasn't a rule for ultralight - people would just make a pair of mi2 launchers and it would get boring in the first day. I wanted a little variety in this level, and I wanted people to utilize many different ways to go across the center, plus the portal adds the neccesity of speed. Just think outside the box and you'll come up with something just like markmadras.

So why the rush :?: :?: a raise of 100 is way too much. I started the Light score at a reasonable level but now it is already high on the first day.

Believe me, you have no idea how far I am from my real score.....
And almost 24 hours are passed after your bet... I think this is reasonable, considering that, compared to the winning score of this one, 8300 is almost like 8400...!

That's the way to go, Creasta :D People should enjoy playing the level by the rules and not complain about how strict they are - because the same rules apply to all contestants, so it's not unfair.

I know, that's the whole point of this level - to get through the center before the dillo exits the level.

Your solutions cost more than $800, I'm sure there's still room for improvement, although I agree the jumps shouldn't be this huge.
