This one turned up a couple of weeks ago at work. The whole office was at it one lunchtime. My best, after dozens of tries was, like yours, 491m.

I showed it to James, my 6 year old son, when I got home. After a couple of swings and misses he matched my score! Are the youth of today born with a brain specially evolved to play computer games?

Hate to do this to you... but I've now uped the ante to 587.6

 

[Alan Black]

This was on one of my other boards a few days ago, and after many hours, the best I could come up with was 593.5.

 

[Eric]

542.9 first try.

it's amazing I can only get about 320 at home and always well over 400 at work

 

[Mark Beiser]

588.1 was my best shot on about the 10th try. I was able to consistantly get it over 500, usually in the 520-560 range.

The trick seems to be that it has to skip a few times to get a shot over the 490ish range.

My My what idle time some have.I couldn't resist either and I managed 492 after afew times but then I hear my garage calling.After getting the 65 tiger all cleaned up [its sold]I turned around and what a mess.It seems I just need to be out there and then turn off the lights and go in;when I come back out there is the mess again.

And its sunny again

593.5, but for the life of me, I can't get the little sucker to go over 495.5 in the air!
