Download link for BETA tester(s) ... provide Statz Page image of a "PERFECT!" score.
Originally I had a Go-Kart  (representing the (Jaguar) XKE), but it was found to be unnecessary.
I would like a "View the map!" image. Between Windows 10 and this new HP laptop computer (with reversed action of program functions switches  requiring the use of the "fn" key with the top row to do a SAVE or Restore) I have been unable to do a prt sc of the Gruntz game ... what I get is the contents of the current Windows desktop when I try to access the paint program. F12 also fails to capture the image.  Found where F12 stores the image! 
I read somewhere on-line that there is a way to change the keyboard action so that F5 works as it used to, providing a refresh in many programs ... or SAVE in Gruntz ... instead of back-lighting the keyboard keys. But the method doesn't 'stick'! Every Microsoft update returns the function to the default ... and I keep forgetting to do what is required to make it 'normal' again. As far as computers designed for Microsoft Windows is concerned, progress is NOT their most important product. Every new version seems to be even less user-friendly than the previous one. Things that used to be readily available on the desktop, such as File Manager(!) and NotePad now require multiple steps to invoke the program. Yes, I have the icons tacked to the task bar ... but only one iteration is accessed that way. To have two copies of FM, I need to go through the start menu, because if I use the open window I already have, it is replaced by the one I want to also have open!

During testing, beating the map over and over again, I managed to do some "speedruns" of this level, even getting a sub-6 minute "Perfect".  That requires getting through the "XKE" part in an almost ideal manner (and timebomberz' cooperation too). |

In August there was a small competition between MMM, Tomalla and me on the Discord server - who can complete this level the fastest. Times kept dropping with every replay and we even found some unplanned solutions to the puzzles that made it possible to get the "Perfect" a lot faster.  I ended with the fastest score (4:33), but leading only by 3 seconds. |

and see if the unintended solutions he found are really that obvious. 
. That result would be PERFECT! for someone playing in 'Easy' mode.
