Trial and Error

[Vipa]

My point is not about the big rewards, frusting is a hard game mode after all, and I'm not even thinking about the prize rarity, but rather the sheer difficulty of the contest at its limit.

Also, 12 people reaching 180... hell no. Depression (E) has been considered to be impossible for a human for a long time by people like Fran10, Suuper, Firefight and even Kwing himself, until AspectZero beat it, with a ridiculously good time given the circumstances. ONLY one person (aka AspectZero) has the skill in the game right now to even possibly beat it again under an hour. Also, Frustration 145 is probably the most cruel frust there is out there.

So nope, I'd say only Aspect has a shot at 180. MAYBE a few people can reach 175 (bi3liu, muNIM), and I seriously doubt the list is much bigger for 170 (Magniloquent, Lich, Vipa).

First of all; Depression [E] is probably the easiest level of the harder levels I've played in this contest so far, as I did beat it first try without hesitation, and without having to beat it before during practice on my own. The hardest level (at least for me) is probably going to be Nightmare by @AspectZero (6496081), and that's the last level I have to beat in trial 29 before I can advance to the final and last trial. That being said, bi3liu has already reached 180 points, and that before AspectZero. I'd say I have a good shot at 180 points if I beat the said level, but I'm yet to see Munim and @Magniloquent try this contest (doubt they would even reach 170 points (HIPPO). Tibere would've reached much higher if he tried to, but for some reason he decided to stop at 100 points (maybe it was because I gave my artifact hat-prize to @Tib (because I already have the artifact hat) so now he doesn't have to continue grinding T&E), most likely because he doesn't have the epic skillz in order to beat Frustration Course by Munim (HELLO).
