Wish I'd had time to do a few practice runs first, but it was still a good learning experience for me. Can't wait to read the strategies!

Items upgraded: 122
Unique upgrades completed: 77%
Score: 93

I didn't expect to win; I just entered to play in a way I wouldn't normally.  It was a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to the next challenge!

So if I make Tim 'The Tool Man' Taylor upgrade one more thing, I will throw something at the computer speakers.. I am so sick of that little jingle that plays after each upgrade!

So he upgraded 1997 (so close to 2000 :( ) at 86% so the total should be 1717

All done with 2318 upgrades, 94% unique upgrades

2318 x .94 = 2178

I did find a way to get 100%, but it is really annoying and tedious, and in the end, not worth lost time in other areas.

Guy Handy was my entry in this contest. Unfortunately I did not figure out a proper strategy until the last week of the challenge! So I finished up my official entry (Guy) yesterday and started a new one (Handy Manny). He is already at 800 upgrades on week 2 so I know what I did wrong now lol! Nonetheless Guy Handy was my official entry at:

502 upgrades at 89% = 446.78

or  approx. 447


This was a great challenge and until now I never ever took a sim through the handiness skill like I did with this challenge! Kudos to the creators!

Actually hitch - we don't round up.  You'll see in the example of the rules that you just drop the decimal.  So your actual score is 446.

Looks like there is an error on the leader board.  Gogowars329 is listed twice and I am missing  ::)

Awesome job! I was thinking that if someone finds the way to 100% it's you.

My mistake! 446 then. I wasn't sure which is why I wrote the whole thing out.

Tinker Tanner finished her challenge with 1103 upgrades and a 94% in the unique upgrades column for a total of 1036. Glad to be back in the challenges as RL took over the last quarter of last year!
