 | George Armstrong Ok a flavour of something different. I'll give you a few options this week on how to get bonuses - you can claim points from both, you don't have to choose just one:
|
 | Tom Cappleman For the first one, do you mean as the last step of your solve, or just multiplying/dividing by it at some point in your solution? |
| George Armstrong I'd hoped I'd implied the former, maybe I'd better not stay up late after a CO:LIN in the future ;) |
| Tom Cappleman It's what I thought was most likely, but wasn't 100% |
 | Alan O'Sullivan George, i was saving my locked 1 to x at the end. Apto didnt allow me to perform the actual x action but it also deemed me to have gotten the round bang on. Does that count as a bonus under X or / by the locked number as a final move? |
| George Armstrong Just so I can see, which round was this? |
| Alan O'Sullivan https://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=3112913
|
| George Armstrong Seemingly what you'd done here was make a 1 from 8-7, then used the locked 1 to add to the 9? |
| Alan O'Sullivan it does look like that but i definitely left the locked 9 to do a x1 to end on. hence what promprted this whole question if that makes sense. |
| Alan O'Sullivan left the locked 1**** |
| Tom Cappleman Yeah, if you're submitting a solution at the end (rather than in the notes) it will stop you as soon as you've reached your target, so can't multiply/divide by 1. Probably best to just check if people have a locked 1 that's still unused and award the bonus in that case. |
| Alan O'Sullivan Thank you Tom. You've explained it better than i was able to above. |
 | Florence C-L But if you had a locked 1 that's still unused, the interface would not think you'd solved it on account of you not having used the locked number yet? |
| Show all comments | |
 | Dan Spinks yeah, what Florence said. It's still unsolved if you've not used the locked 1. If it definitely did that AOS then it's probably worth reporting as a bug |
| Alan O'Sullivan Thaks all, I'll maybe do as Dan suggested. |
| Tom Cappleman Ah, in your game Alan you'd made a 1 in addition to the locked 1. So guess it depends what order you did stuff from there, and which 1 you still had left |
| George Armstrong Fwiw if anything like this comes up again for anyone, let me know and we can act accordingly - I'd trust you lot not to lie for the sake of 5 extra points ;) |
| George Armstrong Ah I seemingly let these rounds run for an extra day because I can't count to 7... Will allow the extra day then coz that's my bad :) |
