Nimbleweed I

Can you identify a station from just a paving slab? Sadly, some people can

Thanks!

Right - my normal clock is only 2.5 seconds behind, but there's no way of changing them! I'll live with 2, though!

EDIT: scrap that, it's exact!

The waiting is over. The players' clocks are (hopefully) synchronized. The scoresheet is ready. All that remains is for me to fire the starting-pistol and say

GO!

Remember that 1 point now represents 10 seconds, and that the winner is the first player to either:
  • reach 1800 points,
  • gain a lead of 600 points, or
  • be in the lead at 06:30:00 on Monday 20/06/2016
Good luck to everyone.

10 Points

That's 100 Seconds (1 min 40 sec) isn't it?

That was a prediction of 100 seconds and a gap of 75 seconds, so AC loses 10 points. I've fed the times into my spreadsheet and it confirms the above. Won't do it after every claim because it's too fiddly, but I'll try to keep it up to date and give updates reasonably often.

Is the scoring to the second or to 10 seconds (example: will a post for 1 Point at, for example, 08:00:02 be able to be spoiled until 08:00:12 or 08:00:20?
