Challenge 12:
1st - Serbaldrig - 232/1/83 (no waste)
2nd - Cannibalk9 - 248/1/64 (He waste)
3rd - WildM - 260/1/46 (Os waste)
4th - Alien Spore - 276/1/47 (Os waste)
5th - ContentContext - 331/1/43 (Ho waste)
6th - MrBlarney - 331/1/53 (Ta waste)
7th - Nethris - 337/1/49 (Os waste)
8th - Orthogonalus - 358/1/49 (Os waste)
9th - JavaJesus - 364/1/77 (He waste)
10th - Added Space - 365/1/73 (He waste)
11th - Meatbag Esq. - 422/1/84 (He waste)
12th - Amro - 476/1/48 (Gd waste)
13th - Jabor - 501/1/47 (Os waste)
14th - Half-wit - 574/1/62 (Nd + 2xHe waste)
15th - GuavaMoment - 611/1/60 (Gd waste)
16th - larndar - 764/1/70 (Os waste)

I'm not worrying about who's an SA user anymore or not since it doesn't really matter at this point. Also because I only received 16 entries for this challenge; I knew it was a difficult one beforehand. Included are the waste molecules for the solutions. 'No waste' is the obvious winner, but I can't rule out any of the other methods as being less viable than any other - except the trick to make Holmium instead of Gadolinium, which improved my result after one minute of tinkering.




Serbaldrig - 232/1/83

Challenge 13:
1st - Cannibalk9 - 840/1/38
2nd - Alien Spore - 882/1/42
3rd - Serbaldrig - 887/1/43
4th - Jabor - 965/1/36
5th - MrBlarney - 966/1/36
6th - Nethris - 979/1/38
7th - ContentContext- 979/1/42
8th - WildM - 984/1/44
9th - lardnar - 1058/1/62
10th - Half-wit - 1111/1/29
11th - Amro - 1160/1/43
12th - cearn - 1298/1/39
13th - TheKnife - 1341/1/78
14th - JavaJesus - 1436/1/69
15th - Dr. Stab - 1480/1/57
16th - Janderbuilt - 1958/1/73

Not mentioned in the video but obvious when you look at it - it's faster to build from the top row down. Some of the slower solutions built the four member lead stick straight down, then made the giant molecule from the bottom row up.




Cannibalk9 - 840/1/38

Hey you know what's going to suck? Being 16th and going up against Cannibalk9 in the first round. Though I'm sure you'll have the entire thread rooting for you to pull off an upset.

All the music from SpaceChem is freely available for download. After almost 400 hours played you'd think I'd be sick of this music but somehow I'm not. This music just gets you in the problem solving mood somehow. Other games I have played over 100 hours (Plants vs Zombies, Binding of Isaac) I use as an excuse to put on some other music and turn off the in-game music, but I don't do that for SpaceChem.
