This was my attempt, 11 pieces was the best i could come up with (first solve took 30 lol)

I have really enjoyed the competition, and hope to be able to give you guys a run for your money with a bit (read lot) more practice

I was trying to adapt it to a 9 piece (which still wouldnt have been enough to win the round :oops: ) but i ran out of time with it .
Not quite in 9 http://www.sparkworkz.com/fc2/?designId=399455

One of the interesting aspects of this comp is that all the levels
were solvable with a single digit piece count, but in most cases
finding a single digit solve required some special ideas.

Ok, i am back :D . Thank you so much for putting up with me, and i am really sorry that i had to make you all wait a week. I am really happy that this week is finally over, i has so much to do and was really busy. Well anyway, i updated everything but i have not put round 7 up yet. It will begin on april 22 at 9pm EST. This will garentee that everyone will have the same amount of time to solve round 7, if i were to start it right now the person who sees notices that i am back first would have more time for round 7 and that wouldn't be fair. Good luck everyone.

Also id36 and guzman, do you still want a elimination-board for round 7. The whole point of the E-B is to know if you will lose lives without knowing exactly where you stand but with only 2 people left it is garanteed that both of you will know exactly where you stand, so do you still want one?

I like to know where I stand ...
so that I know that I still have to improve my solves to reach id36.

I like the elimination board.

[There's an error in the leaderboard ... I only have 1 life left, not 2]

Ok, round 7 is up, I know I have said this before but I really doubt that this one can be done with one digit, good luck and have fun.

The first rule of FC competitions is DDSG (Double Digits equals Shaky Ground) ;)
