Magnum scoring thread - levels 1-42

[Layman]

This thread is to list all the best Magnum Scores on the 42 official levels. As most of you will know, the Magnum score of a design is simply the number of pieces, multiplied by the number of ticks. This means that multi-piece brown weights are out, and simple powered solves are in - my favourite!

For a start, here are the current best Magnum scores on the first 21 (free) levels, with some suggestions in the second post of how to beat them. The second 21 (official, paid) levels are also included - some of the records on these levels are pretty good, some are eminently beatable. Please, post your best solutions here.

This thread is designed to revive and expand on sanderlennart's thread here. Please also see Dean-o's excellent thread here, which includes all of the simplest designs for levels 1-21.

Where the Magnum score of two designs is identical, the design with the lower number of pieces will take precedence.

When you post a design, please give the appropriate credit.

And, to paraphrase Dean-o,

One last thing, this thread is NOT AT ALL about badges. You can build a longway 7-piece for Tube, and you can pat yourself on the back. But you won't get any credit for it here, unless it takes less than 27 ticks.

[Wafflekins]

Mind the gap is actually 29 ticks making it 29*3=87

http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=10241022 this design beats that 1*85=85

[Layman]

Thanks Waffle - actually I had the wrong link for the 3pc solution - hopefully it's now 26 ticks. I've put your 1pc in the "near misses" section.

[Magnum1000]

Shaved a measly tick off of Up the Stairs: http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=10243825 (3*60=180)

[Linkzcap]

Thank you Layman! I'll get right into some scoring now!

Earilier ID for Reach up: http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=10213865 :P

Mind the Gap: http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=10244120 25 x 3 = 75

[ID36]

On A Roll 81 (3p @ 27t)

[Layman]

Thanks guys - updated (hopefully the attributions are right)

Levels 22-42 coming soon! (probably tomorrow)

[Linkzcap]

Mission to Mars has an incorrect link.

Also, here's a 452 (improved from the old version) for Up the Hump: http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=10252633

[jonnychoob]

http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=9802017 U-turn 4 pieces, 77 ticks

I've been waiting for a home for that thing

[Layman]

Thanks - updated posts 1 and 2. I've changed post 2 round quite a bit to make it clearer which records are there for the taking - hope you like the format.

Still working on the second set of levels - get your magnum solves in now!

[patacoman]

Up The Hump tweak - 3 piece, 150 ticks : http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=10262105

[mtdewd]

When I considered doing this some months back, I thought it would be more interesting to not allow '0' scores.
Here's my best non-zero scores for Rolling Away and Around the Bend:
Rolling Away 1*49= 49
Around the Bend 2*132= 264

Worth making it work, even if not the fastest... http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=10264583

[2phun]

I'm sure someone will have a better scoring one...but figured I'd throw it out there to get us started.
Sisyphea 1544 (8 pc @ 193 ticks) http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=10266983
My 6 piece one is substantially slower.

[Linkzcap]

I agree with the "no non-zero scores" idea. In fact, here is proof that it shouldn't be allowed.

0 pieces x any ticks = 0
0 = zero ticks
Zero ticks = impossible

Or something like that. Anyways I like the idea.

[zhyrek]

Just an FYI, the goal piece counts as a piece towards the 120 piece limit...

Just saying... :P

Edit: 2000th POST

Up the stairs 56 Ticks. not by me
