Read - A Blessed Summary of Ultra Bricks

[Markozeta]

Update: Round 3 is finished, and so are the Ultra-Brick Awards! Time to summarize. I made a handy color chart so everyone can see what happened:

Vote 1	Vote 2	Vote 3	Vote 4	Vote 5	Vote 6
117	108	72	340	246	263
152	195	248	346	296	437
163	219	343	466	604	513
265	438	433	586	664	579
318	519	495	656	728	625
342	690	535	686	865	749
356	770	577	756	871	790
528	815	600	792	902	853
769	824	711	851	972	903

Explanation:
Blue - Bricked
Bold Blue - Double Bricked!
Super Bold Blue - Ultra Brick!
Red - One-Voted
Blue-Red - Bricked, then One-Voted
Purple - Double Bricked, then One-Voted above Ultra Brick!
Green - Winner of vote
Bold Green - Fools Golden Brick
Bold Green Blue - Fools Golden Brick (Round 2)
Bold Blue Green Blue - Fools Golden Brick (Round 3)

The final, has brought us with the first Fools-Golden Brick, 656 - It Probably Squeaks, Too. We're starting the intermission while this summary thread has been brought up. As mentioned prior, we have 14 surviving strips. The purpose of this summary thread is:

1. Update everyone on how the contest is going in a convenient chart.
2. Ask if everyone is okay with the rules or would like to see some changes.
3. Find out if anyone else wants to split the remaining 14 strips into (2) groups of 7.

Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. Thanks!

I think I mentioned this in another thread (or I didn't and I'm simply insane), but IMO it'd be better to have the one group of 14. Two groups of 7 won't leave enough space to generate Bricks, and it will draw the contest on a little long.

[Markozeta]

Well, I asked the math gods about this - and they've been silent. Which is typical for a math god, to be honest. Unless you misspell your question.

Anyways, the conclusion I came to was a group of 14 would be best. So that's where we'll be.

Round 2 is over. I've updated the chart. With 6 left, the math gods have reassured me we have a decent chance of one of them getting out-right bricked, but don't count on it. Still, I've got enough material for one more intermission if needed before heading to super bricks. So, I'll leave us once again with a vote of most-favorite again for Round 3. Let's go over some of the original points though:

1. Chart has been updated. So shiny!
2. Anymore concerns on rules, plans, etc.?
