315.5

[DJofSD]

315.7

[banacek]

Me 307.7. My 7 year old son 316.3. Figures.

[DJofSD]

320.5

[doophus]

After 2hrs 45min of practice, you improved 5'. It's not the improvement that is impressive it's the perseverence. :D

[banacek]

Okay, my 7 year old walked in, played the game about 5 more times and did a 321.1 to beat my old record of 316.0 (his was 316.3). Probably picks the ponies better than me too.

[Zaf]

:lol: :lol: :lol: 320.3

323.4

[andicap]

After 10 minutes of practice, 323.5, swear to God. But it was the only time I cracked 300.

[GameTheory]

Oh, it's on!

[NoDayJob]

:D I'm sure there are lots of better stress relief methods--- sex being number one.:D

[Binder]

took me a LONG time to break 300

:D Hey Abbott! :D

[DJofSD]

This will keep me laughing for the next few days!

I matched Andicap and Buddha exactly (323.5). (Maybe that's an upper limit.) Really makes you appreciate Howard Cosell's comment that the most difficult skill in all of sport is hitting a penguin....er, I mean baseball.

[Binder]

:D Hey Abbott! :D


Started the day sitting in holiday traffic in Paterson NJ
making a delivery. I found the Lou Costello Memorial Park

Ended the day trying VERY hard to smack a penguin
past 325

I'm a baaad Boy :)

It appears that the optimal penguin flight for max distance is just slightly less than 188.9ft, probably 188.5.

[GameTheory]

It appears that the optimal penguin flight for max distance is just slightly less than 188.9ft, probably 188.5.Can I some data on that please? Equations and such?

[chickenhead]

Hey, that info is hard earned. I'm not giving away the farm here.....

[lsbets]

Can't beat the 323.5. I got 323.4 and I haven't eaten or slept since this thing was posted. I need to go to Penguin Basher's Anonymous!

[46zilzal]

worth a try

[andicap]

Ah, I got over 200 on the fly, but you're right -- the key is to hit line drives so the little critter skids much of the way. The one I hit for the fences had the perfect match of flight and skid. I am retiring on top.

"Niagra Falls!! Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch ....

[chickenhead]

Yes you can fly him further, but you want to fly him just up to the "lawn dart" point without going over. I still haven't figured out exactly where that crossover is, but 188.9 is the shortest fly where I got him to stick.

[DJofSD]

personal best so far is 322.5

So far, Binder rules!

[GameTheory]

I've gotten to 323.5, but can't beat it. Maybe that is the limit?

[chickenhead]

I think so, that's the furthest I could get.

[keilan]

slapped that penguin 321' on my 10th or so try, I'll keep going for the record but I won't spend more than another ten minutes.

I said that yesterday. I wonder how the wife and kids are doing .............

I believe due to the friction coefficient it would be impossible to propel him any further. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Good thing they used a penguin instead of a clown. Embarassing enough to say one's "Slapped The Penguin" half the day. ;)

"Renh! Renh! Renh! Is that all you've got! Renh! Renh! Renh!"

Self-correction (before someone beats me to it): Apparently, the quote about hitting a baseball consistently being the single most difficult skill in sport was attributed to Ted Williams.

[andicap]

Huh? He hasn't gotten it to 323.5 like a few of us. -- Or do you mean his Abbott & Costello impression? That, I agree is a good line.

"So who's the name of the first baseman?"
"Naturally."
"So the first baseman's name is Naturally."
"No, Who's on First."

It's been a long night, another ten minutes and I'm outta here :sleeping: :sleeping:

[Binder]

It gotten to the point of looking for a way to stop the penguin on the drop down a freeze frame method
till I can inch it down to smack it at the precise point to optimize
Velocity and Deceleration
maybe I can import this into Val 3

LMAO!! :lol:

[shanta]

Best I can do:

[qhrick]

323.4 and 323.5

Possibly only way to go longer would be to change penguin into a racing steward. Everyone would really give that their best shot

How bout longest "stick in snow" 209' even

[GameTheory]

Shortest distance while still actually hitting it?

[46zilzal]

there is a very fine difference between head first and a good bounce.....

[lsbets]

209 on the head first is impressive! The best I've been able to do there is 206.7. I've had a few that I was sure were going to bounce and go forever, only to stick nose down in the snow.

[46zilzal]

Shortest distance while still actually hitting it?
sse if you can beat this

[Zaf]

Shortest distance while still actually hitting it?

:lol: new challenges.

69.1

[lsbets]

My wife is now addicted to penguin swatting. We're arguing over whose turn it is to hit the penguin, and the kids are looking at us like we're nuts.

[Binder]

65ish

:eek:

[shanta]

can anyone do a "header" at exactly 200? I have been trying for umm ..... 10 minutes :lol: and got this close once.

Notice the almost perfect form upon entry very little "splash" as the judges like to say :D

Richie

[GameTheory]

yes

[Binder]

What makes Kianti crazier
This Penquin or the Clean up program toilet bowl flush

9.5 from this judge poor dismount

[Tom]

Personal best

[shanta]

yes


You are amazing GT! Very nice perfect entry and form I see too!

Richie :)

The toilet flush 100% he hears that and goes wild! lol

Okay - how do you get a screen shot to save? I right click and I can't save it.

[Steve 'StatMan']

I've gotten pretty good at predicting my score after watching the initial flight after I hit the bird. Guessing about 7 of 10 times I can predict my score within 5-10 points, sometimes hit it on the whole number.

[Tom]

ls.....hit <prt scr> then go to Paint, or some other image prgram and <paste>

I use Paint, then save as a jpeg, crop the screen shot, and save again, resizing to under 30 kb for posting.

You can past to Word or Excel as well.
