Alright so this competition has been unofficially over for a month with no results, so I'm going to compile them. Let's go!

First up: an order of score reports.

IHNN: 262 MS (b)

Flareon: 233 MS (b-29)

Miika: 262 MS (b) and 258 Lynx (b)

chipster: 214 MS (b-48) and 201 Lynx (b-57)

Motekopasznyaku (Mote): 262 MS (b) and 259 Lynx (b+1)

Flareon: 252 MS (b-10)

Mote: 263 MS (b+1)

Miika: 263 MS (b) and 260 Lynx (b+1)

IHNN: 263 MS (b)

Ruben: 262 MS (b-1) and 260 Lynx (b)

So what does this all mean for points? Well, the people who were the first to find the bold route for a ruleset (Mote and Miika) get 5 points. Anyone else who ended with a bold gets 4 points (IHNN and Ruben). Anyone with a "pretty good" time gets 3, and my initial thought for this would be b-10. And that's what Flareon has! Anyone who solved the level, then, gets 2 points (chipster) and no one commented without solving. The final breakdown is thus:

5 points: Miika and Mote

4 points: IHNN and Ruben

3 points: Flareon

2 points: chipster

1 point: James


Here's my 263 route- I tried pretty much everything but this before reporting 262 in the first place...




Thanks to Josh for an interesting level and Miika for the idea!

I'll be getting to the June results soon...

Miika's post never said the comments had to be posted here, only the solutions and times I hereby appeal for 1 Chip Cup point:

[2016-07-13 10:34:49 PM] James Anderson: this TT is far more deep than I initially expected

[2016-07-13 10:35:12 PM] Tyler Sontag: so deep

[2016-07-13 10:35:22 PM] James Anderson: "ok, that's my initial route plotted, i'll just keep going through all these extra yellow locks at the end of the level to see how many more I need to cut out of my route...oh, I ended up on the top edge of the level"
