Bash Room 5 min Aptochallenge

Post by Oliver Garner »

No one seems to be using the bash room any more so I gave myself 5 minutes to get as many as possible (if you are the only one in the room and you get it, it gives you another one immediately). I got 18/24, which I'm sure can be beaten easily so I shall set the challenge out to you. Obviously, since there is no method of checking honesty with the Bash Room, I shall encourage you not to cheat through solvers, giving yourself extra time or lying about your score.

Rules
1. Check to see you are the only one in the room.
2. Your time starts (time yourself) when the teaser it gives you when you enter is solved and a new one is given.
3. You have 5 minutes from this time
4. When you reach 5 minutes, Mastermind rules apply (started so you can solve the teaser you have been presented even after time's up).

Good luck!

I'm a bit late in giving this a go... but on my first attempt, I've just set a mark of 20 out of 26 in 5 minutes after entering the Bash Room at 14:18:11 today. (Details at the top of this chat log, with FROTH being my first correct answer and STRIDE being my final correct answer.)

Considering that I missed one or two dead obvious scrambles, I reckon somewhere near 35 correct answers is a good score to beat for the top players round here.

I think I managed 30 (http://apterous.org/chatlog.php?log=1283001478539 JAILER -> SNAKING) but there's definitely still loads of room for improvement, that is only one correct answer per 10 seconds after all.

I think I got to 37, starting at 20:32:24 with MENDACITY. Missed a couple completely so plenty of room for improvement in that.
