Zone 1 Winner??

You must have caught them in a moment of quiet reflection.

Anyway, they beat you Maskboy so you can't exactly gloat

My pictures from the day are currently stuck in a developing machine in Jessops and I am going to be writing to their head office , for all the good it will do me.

I won't be doing my write up until I have the pictures as I want to put them in the text. So bear with me and I'm sure Geoff will do a much more jaunty, personal anecdote-type write up, wheras this one will be more factual

Could I also ask everyone who took part to email me their route in as much detail as possible and as soon as possible to tubeguru@tubechallenge.com so we can put them all up.

Don't feel you're giving away trade secrets here - everyone knows more or less how to do each bit of Zone 1 by now

Thankyou very much

Tubeguru

(Text will do fine - no need to send me an annotated JPG of it all!)

Umm, yeah.

There WAS going to be a booby prize but Geoff decided to award it to the team with the best name so you'll have to fight Maskboy for the chocolate.

ok, it's up:

But this is the "I haven't checked for spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, or typos" version - so please don't flame me!

Splendid! Even if you have called me ANDREW (why do people do that?) and linked to my site without actually turning the word "here" into a hyperlink!

It was all truly great fun. Geoff, Neil and Annie now have my pictures.

When did you send Neil your pics? He hasn't got them yet?

I think I'll take a suggestion out of Haken's hat for next time, and get the computer to plan the route for me...

(Although if I'd had Haken's luck with the trains then I'd've done a lot better!)

I wish I had the sk1llz to program a program like that. Elementary C is a start but won't get me far.... nowhere near as far as Hakan and his masterful graphical output on the Tube map, at least. Incredible!

Yorkie · Post by **Yorkie** » 22 May 2005, 01:04

I'm thinking along the same lines. T'wud be nice to have a little calculation program thingy, even if it didnt do it graphically. The bit of C that I do know probably wouldnt get me that far, although I've not really considered it. This could be a project for the summer. The furthest I've got so far is using a spreadsheet list of stations to plan the 275 (/273?). Despite not knowing the timetable, I suppose that given that I know the min and max waits at each station at different parts of the day, and the times between stations, etc. I should be able to suss it with lots of thinking.

If anyone wants any ideas about how to program this then give me a yell - I would program it myself but have just not had the time.
