Definately.

I was even considering disallowing elastic, but I figured I'd get more solutions if I didn't. And more diverse ones at that.

Plus, that would have been kind of mean. 8)

Hahahaha, awesome avatar Orjan.

I also didn't consider the processor aspect of it (just got myself a new machine), apologies for that.

Yeah 1800MHz here occasionally had some slow down with this level.

I finally did it, 20k+ 8)

That was more than 3 hours for me, but I tried my initial approach 3 times with slight variations before accepting that it was impossible. Once I actually thought about the problem a bit and came up with a better way it "only" took 2 hours to build ;)

Since I can't possibly take the time to host a contest I'm going to give more information then I usually do.

If you spent more than 1 rocket, you won't win.

Now i'm completely sure I'll lose now ;)

Have fun!
