Well I’ve had a little tinker about on PE 3-1 using both classic and Original and I don’t envy you your task @desperate-dan.Couple of observations though,using Classic there seems to be more room for randomness but the higher scores are all using Original.Here I tried bouncing Red of the small wood block up to the tnt(this doesn’t work on Classic)…[Read more]

Sometimes you can get a batch of good scores that are version specific often noted by Nest flingers on the walk through pages but I wonder whether a few slip by unnoticed.Not saying I see a batch of good scores here but Birdjo is the only flinger over 70k that makes a comment (dated Sep 12).Assuming the date corresponds to the period he got the…[Read more]

Of the other sites having AB strats and scores, the only one I am aware of that is still up is http://www.theater333.com. According to that site or Poached Eggs 3-1, the cut to make it into the top 10 (in Massachusetts!) was 69370 as of February 2011 (but the video presented there does not make the cut). Such scores would make it into the top 50, so at…[Read more]

And… they have reappeared.

This reminds me of a front page headline in (I think) the News of the World many years ago which was “World War Two bomber found on surface of the Moon”

The next week there was a headline reading “World War Two bomber on Moon disappears”

Two sensational stories for the price of none.

Nah, couldn’t be, could it?

Now that’s very odd. The message that I posted today and the Doc’s nice reply have both now vanished. They were on the comments section of the Challenge page. Strange things have been happening on the Challenge page and maybe it has now extended to the comments. There was nothing dodgy, in fact I just asked a question about whether there were…[Read more]

We’re cool. He even complimented me today.

I guess we can’t be 100% sure about Google Plus because if @murash joined the Nest in 2012 and registered his platform then, 13 years later if he is genuinely active (rather than entering old scores) that might not be the case. However, you are probably correct. This level has been an absolute brute for…[Read more]

Just had a nosey at the PE 3-1 leaderboard and it’s an unusual one.Two spots in the top ten with no name attached(no idea what that’s about).Murash and Ralph(4th spot) both claim Google Plus as their platform and one player just outside top ten claims Chrome as their platform.I know scores from Chrome were not permitted but not sure about G+ maybe…[Read more]

I’m glad I didn’t start with U.R.Sham.Actually now that @vuelva mentions it I’m sure he was the guy who had Poached Eggs 1-1 top score for aeons until Classic came along and everyone beat it within 5 mins.

Thanks @vuelva. It didn’t really have the fingerprints of a cheat. I really want to know how he got top score in 3-1. It’s one of my list of 11 levels outside top 50 in ABo and not one for which there is a credible reason (e.g. level has been changed).

Maybe he’s just re-entering scores from years ago.

need not be suspious. murash held the overall top score in poached eggs for quite some time, and comfortably so, before levels were improved iirc.

I’d like to wire Infantino to the National Grid.Yes it’s time for Inf(rant)ino Pt.2.

Well it’s actually Pt.7 but who’s counting.Anyway the guy only wants to expand the shitty Club World Cup Club Foot Sandwich to 48 games and have it every 2 years instead of 4.Gaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!! doesn’t do it justice.The man is more autocratic than Toad Blatter…[Read more]

Her Twiggyship yomped up and down Snowdon today and having got home, tore round and round the garden in circles for about half an hour. I need to get her wired up to the National Grid.

I guess I should ask him but with no comment footprint anywhere it’s probably not going to be any use. The overall distribution of scores across Poached Eggs doesn’t look particularly odd and he could well have beaten one of my top scores using the same approach as others. But 3-1 is a bit of a mystery to me, I’d really like to know what happened…[Read more]

Very suspicious @desperate-dan,an anagram of R.U.Sham?The question on everyone’s lips.

There’s a guy called @murash who has just posted a couple of top scores in Poached Eggs. Not using Classics. No other episodes have scores. I’m keeping a watch for now…

“Jake, Jake, I gotta pull over.”

Best car chase scene ever.

Wordle streak at 1000 @hunnybunny.  #998 was TAFFY #999 was PLAID.  Both very Welsh. Apparently taffy is a North American sweet, not a Welshman. Plaid I’m sure will send you off into a rant.

Everyone’s probably seen this but I could watch it all day.
