The winner (best total score) gets to pick next weeks theme.
If we have the same winner as last week, the runner up (#2)
will pick the theme.

See here (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=4621.0) for the rules, an overview of themes and previous

Please post your progress/total scores in this topic, to ease

Technically it should be Spirit and Opportunity but whatever...  I have decided to finally participate in a tournament so my scores will go in this post soon.

Here's my times and scores.  May be subject to change... ;)

technically, they landed on different days

well....

Correct. Spirit and Opportunity landed on different days; and opposite sides of the planet. Opportunity was one of two alternate dates I didn't use. Mars Pathfinder/Sojourner rover was the other.

Just for the record, I can't believe I've beaten Michionlion !

Well, i'm not an expert at completing maps fast... but that was an easy one.  I'll probably improve it sometime...

These were fun maps for me; thanks, Katra.

Sorry the screenshots took so long. Most are, I think, self-explanatory. I got the snapshot late on map 4. I had moved OC from the large central island to bridge the upper right totem, and was shuffling back and forth using the original position of OC when the connection was made. I welcome any comments or questions.

My selected theme for next week's tournament is an unusual one, here http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=5870.0 (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=5870.0).
