I just had a momentary panic that I had missed the challenge deadline, when I woke up at 7am after falling asleep at 10pm (very exciting night around here, there were diapers and there were books, don't even get me started). I promise to set an alarm for 11:50p just in case I do it again tonight.

I was very worried too. Glad you set the alarm.

Looks like win for Blue.

Blue: 399 leaderboard, 10 trophies
Green: 318 leaderboard, 2 trophies
Red: 191 leaderboard, 5 trophies
Black: 95 leaderboard, 0 trophies

I will update points in the main Gauntlet thread now as well.

Also, if anyone would like to check my calculations I can send you the screenshots, if you promise not to make fun of the other tabs I had open at the time. It took me like a half hour and it was EXTREMELY boring so I don't recommend it, but I majored in English so if you feel you must, I will support you.

So for Challenge 6 (most leaderboard points) it's Blue, Green, Red, Black, and for Challenge 7 (most trophies) it's Blue, Red, Green, Black. Is that correct?

And please send me the screenshots, Ivy. I trust your math. I just wanna see the other tabs you had open.

My favourite is how NPG used her effort-benefit analysis to play 4 deck Spider Solitare and hit the "Submit Score" button after the clock ran for a second or two, thus giving her the high score.

Meh. Not anything worth really making fun of, there. You disappoint.

Nice to see the toolbar shortcuts for the Puddin' and some other super-secret site, though. ;)

Actually, everyone in the top 10 did that. ;)

Are you absolutely certain you want people who read the chat logs at Perverted Justice on the Puddin' though? (Even if it was a link in a thread on INTPC.)

So for equal scores in the high score list, does it sort by time played?

They're probably all the same people.

It took three tries to get that score. I think it's good that some of the games (like the ones I won) had nothing to do with skill but could be beaten by someone with a little bit of ingenuity/stupidity.

Heh, I was going to beat Haight's Texas Hold'em score, but the forum logged me out automatically after being on one screen for too long. That Texas Hold'em game takes only slightly more skill than the Billiards game did before it was fixed. ;)

I tried valiantly to unseat Laser's "Hexxagon" trophy.... but he wrapped his arms and legs around the chair and held on!

Actually ygolo took first place away from me about an hour before the competition ended.

I don't know if this has been asked anywhere, but is it possible to change the control keys on the games?
I just cannot play using the arrows. On my MAME games, I can change the settings, and I usually use N/M as left/right, and A/Z as up/down. Anyway to do this on this arcade?
