Challenge maps:
Scheme File(s): scheme TCB19

Description:
Here's an idea we stole from those human armed forces. An obstacle course for you to go through! But unlike those humans with their, ugh... peaceful ways of climbing over things, we decided to give it more of a wormy touch. The real deal!

Rules and objectives:

- Start by placing one worm anywhere on the S block.
- End by jumping onto the F block. You are not allowed to die after reaching it.
- You must have at least 1 shotgun left by the end of the attempt.
- You have a maximum of 3 minutes (excluding retreat time) to complete this challenge.

Ranking method:

- You will receive 2 points for each remaining shotgun.
- Ranks are decided by subtracting the turn time (in seconds) from the amount of points. Greater sums rank higher.

- Ranks are decided by substracting the turn time from the amount of points. Greater sums rank higher.

It doesn't make sense to me. Turn time in seconds? Amount of points will always be less than turn time, score will be negative ???
We can't substract in different measurement  ???

I think if 2 players have equal number of points for used shotguns, the winner will be considered  by less turn time

I agree, units should have been specified. But looking at the scores of submissions so far, it looks like turn time in seconds. This would make the unit-safe formula: Score = (shotguns left) * (2 points / shotgun) - (Turn time used) * (1 point / second)

Why is it again the turn time, not the total time? Challenge description suggests that using less shotguns is more rewarding, but its not thanks to retreat time abuse.

Wow I hadn't marked that field as unsigned! I foretold this happening! OMG I AM GOD!!?!11
Due to massive misunderstandings: MonkeyIsland refers to an island not a monkey. I would be a monkey, if my name was IslandMonkey meaning a monkey who is or lives on an island. MonkeyIsland is an island which is related to monkeys. Also there's been a legend around saying MonkeyIsland is a game. So please, think of me as an island or a game.

That is, if you submitted an actual replay.
