Video link to results for week 1


Challenge 1:
1st - saeaetaejae - 123/1/52
2nd - Sibling of TB - 123/1/52
3rd - Pingcode - 124/1/40
4th(tie) - WildM, Added Space - 124/1/40
6th - Quatrefoil - 124/43
7th(tie) - Venti, Mirroar - 125/1/41
9th - Hexagon - 125/42
10th - Cannibal9k - 126/1/30
11th - punpundit 127/1/40
12th - Ineffable - 128/1/40
13th - karasu - 128/1/44
14th - lardnar - 128/1/52
15th(tie) - TheKnife, Bremen - 135/1/38

So you can see how tiebreaks work. Saeaetaejae submitted a 123/1/52 solution before Sibling of TB. Pingcode submitted before WildM and Added Space. I don't really care who is exactly 4th or exactly 15th since it's all worth the same points, so those ties can just be left as ties.

Who likes Histograms! Spacechem does! But you can't make histograms in-game on custom assignments, so I made them for you:




saeaetaejae - 123/1/52

Challenge 2:
1st - Sibling of TB - 517/1/12
2nd - Pingcode - 517/1/12
3rd - Ineffable - 517/1/12
4th(tie) - Wild M, Quatrefoil, Cannibal9k, Added Space, TeWuicah, Hexagon, Mirroar, lardnar - 517/1/12
12th - Xerophyte - 615/1/12
13th - karasu - 616/1/12
14th - Bremen - 645/1/12
15th - TheKnife - 803/1/12
16th - Jabor - 804/1/12

Again, Sibling submitted 517/1/12 before everyone, Pingcode was the next to submit that, then Ineffable, then it doesn't matter. Paul.Power also submitted an 804/1/12 solution, but Jabor submitted his first. Ouch.




A whole bunch of people - 517/1/12

Hideous amounts of raw data
I did a weird thing with the names on the third column, just ignore the times after a dash (like 23/1/44) and use the single digits that come after it. Cannibal9k was the first to use the double back alpha trick I showed in the video that WildM also used.
