Score Event - Compound Arithmetic

In this week's event, the controls 1 to 25 got their normal scores - and as an added bonus, they provide bonus points. Bonus points were allocated to combinations of elements that represent real compounds - runners had to make sure they got active elements such as oxygen and sulphur and manganese and phosphorus...and avoid (or bypass) inert elements like Helium, Neon or Argon - as they were not worth a lot.

Mark provided - detailed instructions for the event.

In addition, we generated a list of the combinations possible to illustrate what each element is worth. Have a peek here if interested

Thanks for your wishes.  The event went well and I think everyone had a good time.  I'll show you the map after you get back.  I think a knowledge of chemistry helped a bit - Johanna is doing VCE Chemistry and got a very high bonus considering the number of controls she visited, so she was either putting her education to good use or was just lucky!

 

We had 22 people which I was pleased with considering that several regulars are away at WMOC.  Louise, who has repeatedly said that she would "arrange to be away" the week I ran the periodic table event, is actually in Melbourne this week and turned up.  Ian Davies won by one point from Marta.  In the ongoing Howe/Greenwood battle, Ian got one more control than Ray, however Ray chose better and got three more compounds than Ian putting him ahead due to the 9 point bonus.
