Re: Smack the Penguin! (no offense, Linus)

First try was 0. I got my timing absolutely wrong. Second try, 322.9. Beginner's luck! The best I've gotten since is 310.2, usually getting right around 206.

Re: Smack the Penguin! (no offense, Linus)

My best shot was 514.3
It is difficult to go beyond that.
Keep smacking.
