Niilo Sirola wins the Big Sunday Push

The Big Sunday Push award goes to the contestant who makes the biggest improvment in score on Sunday. Niilo Sirola, who also won the Push in the Furinture Moving contest, swooped in with a series of entries, starting with “The Bomb”, one second after midnight. Within a few minutes he had improved the score about 10x more than on all of Saturday’s activity combined. Claus Still and Tristrom Cooke take second and third place, each capturing their spot in a single leap. For complete details, see the Statistics page.

Stay tuned for more mid-contest challenges before the contest ends on Wednesday.
