    devonin will update the round to show people's numbers... so once that is done, you'll be able to compare.

    guess it doesn't matter then if i say my result... was a little over 7200.

      Ah, I guess I am 4th to get the bonus?

      I should have read that it was 6:00 Eastern...

          Is there going to be a lot of English based mentals? They are hard when English isn't your first language. There was a word I didn't even heard a single time in my life...

          Anyway, time to go sucking at FFR.

            devonin's specialty is english / word based puzzles... as opposed to someone like rubix who will use more logic/math based puzzles.

            can't speak for devonin, but knowing him, likely the majority of the ones that he creates himself will be word-based... and english word-based at that.

              bleh, I take it was probably 4th for mental #2.

              Did you happen to get the first mental challenge + the kongregate username from me Dev? I pm'd it an hour or so before the last update.

                I've easily doubled that score

                    Actually, I think I might be able to get no perfects at all on the song. I'd just need to not fail out, which I came close to doing on the run I got so far.

                      Okay, everything should be updated to here. Jammer, your Kong and round 1 bonus are in, if anyone else sees a discrepancy let me know. I freely admit that I'm moving numbers between here, two spreadsheets and a number of lists, and things do get lost in the shuffle.

                      Also, I believe that 3,326,976 is the mathematically best score you could obtain on round 2. That's FFLBF with a 50/50 split of goods and averages, with 0 perfects. IE 0-1824-1824-0-0

                      And as for the bonuses being word problems, Tass is right in that those are my speciality, but several rounds are going to involve playing games on kongregate (thus the bonus for signing up) and at least one of the main puzzle rounds will be math/numbers based. I try to not rely too heavily on my tendency to use word-based puzzles, but it -is- what I know.

                        uhh... if .. THAT person was here, he'd pwn this round. He can full combo with all goods..... But obviously thats not what its after here.

                        I need help with round 2. Can't get over 1000....

                            I think... the 17k score has everyone scared.. and nobody else is posting..

                            If only roastednoob was here. He'd pwn everyone this round xD srsly

                                Yeah. The score I got had more than 10 perfects. I've already gotten it down to 3, but I can do better, so I didn't SS it.
