Oops. I had copied the format from your post and forgot to change that. Fixed!

There we go. Impressive, John

Have you given any look into Teleblock? I worked on it for awhile and couldn't improve on the existing route.

I've tried many different routes, but most of them all lead to 203. I guess in some ways, it's comforting to know that there are that many ways to achieve the previous bold, but it makes the 204 route seem all the more elusive. I think I might know what the 204 route involves, but pulling it off will be difficult without wasting time.

Ok, this may as well be slightly OT, but what is a partial confirmation? And how do you set a joint record?

A "partial confirm" is a term introduced by Luc Longpre (I believe) to the newsgroup. It takes place when, in an effort to achieve the bold time for a level, a player achieves a time in between the "confirmed" and "unconfirmed" scores on the scoreboard.

And a joint record is one that is "shared" with someone else, usually because they worked together to figure out the solution.

Oops, forgot to reply to that! Thanks, Mike.

The concept of the joint record wasn't actually introduced until the release of CCLP2, when Dale Bryan and Paul Jackson set the very first one on CCLP2 #135 (Zartacla) and then once more on one of the intermediate records in #144 (Wormwood) about a month later. For this reason, there haven't been too many opportunities for joint records to be set in CC1, although they have come up every once in a while over the past several years.

Actually, I just did a quick scan through the evolution list, and it doesn't look like there was ever a joint record set in CC1...
