Slight rule change for pegs contest

I will running the script 100 times rather than the originally stated 20 times. No big deal to the contestants, just want to make sure that things are judged properly...

RE: Slight rule change for pegs contest

It's kinda bigger... now, for sure I'm running for 29 seconds unless I found a path leaving only 1 peg (no aborting at only 2)!

But, I LOVE this change! Wooohooo!

Yeah, i think it's better this way too. If you look at all the possible combinations, than 20 of them is somehow nothing. I don't say 100 is a lot more, but it's better.

RE: Slight rule change for pegs contest

How is the contest scored?
If I have 2 pegs left and it takess .1 seconds and someone else has 1 peg left but it takes 20 seconds which one wins?

I guess the real question is, are u going to use the pegs*time as a the score for a run? Then the one with the lowest score wins.

Or is it simply the number of pegs, and the time it takes is for tie-breakers?
