Sankt Petersburg - The Puzzle

Solving Puzzle #10

This time we received only 42 solutions for our Sankt Petersburg Puzzle with 179 downloads of the puzzle file. Subtracting multiple entries by single players this left us with only 23 entries. This number is so low that we have decided to terminate the contest as announced.

As a little speciality we had one player this time, who desperately tried to reach the worst result possible instead of the best - an interesting variant...
