493.8

high trajectory = bad

line drives are good

Ack!

I can't get this to work under Safari, and downloading the Flash file and running it in QT results in "Couldn't open the file pinguin.swf because invalid media data was found in the movie."

except high trajectory makes for a lovely penguin crater

323.5 is the best I managed. I've heard there's an easier version where people are getting over 500. I haven't been able to get the page to load at all today. I think popularity may have killed it.

Supposing the site actually works, some other entertaining goals are a) try to make the penguin do a noseplant exactly on the 200 mark, and b) try to hit the shortest grounder possible. (My record is 65.4)

A) 202.4 and 198.4 are my best.

Note when the flag comes down to tell the final score it look as if it gets planted in the poor birds rear.

it was fun girls.

flick.

ghost_user_name · January 23, 2004 11:35AM

Lets see anyone else get that neer to 200

alcimedes · January 23, 2004 11:44AM

lol, i just pegged 200 exactly a min. ago i'll try again. i'll see if i can get shortest as well

in the meantime, this is pretty close.

ghost_user_name · January 23, 2004 11:51AM

I seem to fail at everything...

thegelding · January 23, 2004 12:02PM

longest fly/crater--207.8

shortest--65.4

longest bounce--323.7

and i have hit a number of exactly 200...for a while it was my most consistent length

try getting it to land at either 100 or 200 feet exactly with a bouncing penguin, now that is hard
