Contest Bridge?

[OverClok]

I wouldn't mind seeing a price-distribution chart of how many people submitted bridges for $####

At 4:00 pm American time it becomes ok to post bridge info right?

Who here built one?  I had to spend like an hour and a half and try tons of different designs before it would finally hold at hard.  Heh, everything stresses to the max when the train goes over and ONE broken link (manually broken) makes the whole thing collapse http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I guess it should be allowed by then... But some have expressed the wish not to see any scores until the winner is announced...

Heh. I think everyone's going to be hush-hush on their minimum budgets for this one =)

Or even give false (I.e. higher figures) to lull folks into a false sense of security.

CL will analyse them in order of cheapness... a few will be too low because they won't work on hard, or have broken links, etc.  It won't be long before they find the winner that way.
If there is any delay, its because they are double checking all the entries (slight subjectline differences may affect the order in their inbox.)
Then again, they might be discussing whether my winning bridge is legal ;)

The only reason not to submit your bridge on the last day is that you would lose a tie. A tie is pretty improbable. So...
Has anyone already built something he's proud of?

[MrTaco]

getting very very tired of waiting

post results of contest soon

Hmm.. did I misconfigure something, or is the contest bridge really meant to be tested with 7 cars?
Nice challenge if that's the case :-/

I agree, I'm getting very anxious to know who won.  But the anticipation is fun too.  http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'>

My bridge handles 7 cars on hard with no broken links.

I think the winning bridge will be around (edited by ChronicLogic)

Y'all have noticed how the chroniclogic web server refuses connections once in a while - could it be that system refuses to accept emails and silently loses them? Your contest bridge might be in nirvana for all you know....

Now did you feel frightened?

Gotcha! It's all made up! Scary rumour to heighten the tension! ;-)

Wow. under (edited by ChronicLogic). and I thought I was proud of mine.  ####. Back to the drawing board.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH *jumps out of the window*

We would appreciate it if you would refrain from posting any numbers as not to discourage people and maintain the integrity of the contest.  Thanks!
