Notes from the organizer: Our second conundrums round will be Instant cons. I was reluctant to use Instant again but it fits well; a format that naturally rewards pace and isn't that horrid to play (those are coming in R7-9 ;) ). Goatnundrums were also considered, but until today my PB was a 160-10 loss against Waldorf...
As ever, your standard points on the intermediary ladder are:
0 - Didn't play
1 - Beat Prune
2 - Beat Nude
3 - Beat Waldorf
4 - Beat Plum
5 - Beat Caesar
6 - Beat Velvet
7 - Beat Prime
And the bonuses:
Easy - Get 100 points in your win
Medium - Beat Rex
Hard - Get 190+ vs Prune
So for maximum points, please submit *THREE* games (for some reason I seem to make you work harder on the cons!): Beat Prime scoring 100+, beat Rex & score 190+ vs Prune.
Why is scoring 100 easy?
Bots -> Caesar get few maxes and are slow off the mark, and to beat Velv/Prime, you'll need 100!
Why is beating Rex medium?
You need 11 sub 0.7s solves. It's not easy... but I can see some of you doing it
Why is 190 vs Prune hard?
No margin for error, likely need 20 very fast (avg 1.5s) solves

Good luck!
