THE RULES AT A GLANCE

One challenge = 10 level 1 gem upgrades, filmed and posted as a reply to the announcement.

  • Base score = km on the odometer × failure rate of the challenge with the most failures (10% per failure, up to 100%; a Rainbow gem counts as a failure).
  • +200 points per additional challenge.
  • −300 points per video showing 3 level 2 upgrades.

Example from the announcement: 9 failures and 7'000 km give 6'300; one more challenge, +200; one set of level 2 upgrades, −300: score 6'200.

HOW THE RESULTS WERE COUNTED

THE METHOD
  • All 542 posts in the contest thread were read, including replies that players posted under their own previous entries. Of these, 533 contain an upgrade video. The other 9 are the announcement post, comments, two recaps, a distance screenshot, a reaction GIF and an entry with no video.
  • In each video, every upgrade shows a confirmation, then a result: a shining Lv 2 gem is a success; broken gems (Unsuccessful) are a failure; a Rainbow Gem Lv 1 also counts as a failure.
  • The video takes precedence: if the result or distance in the video differs from the post, the video counts. A result that never appears on screen counts as a failure only if the post says so.
  • Distance: the total on the badge under the avatar, in the video of the challenge with the most failures. If there is a tie, the most recent video is used.
  • Deadline: 4 October 2026, 23:59 UTC. All entries were posted on time. The first two videos from @PolyGST, posted before the official start (9 August, 11:00 UTC), are counted.
  • Long videos are split into sets of 10, in order: @Super_Taxy (videos of 49 and 200 upgrades, and two of 20; 44 challenges in all) and @SanMao18251801 (20 upgrades). In the six videos with 11 upgrades, only the first 10 count.
  • Ten upgrades spread over several videos in the same post count as one challenge: @Punky3107, @ralphrimet and @GEAZI_7.
VIDEO DIFFERS FROM POST
  • @PolyGST #12: the video shows 4 successes and 6 failures (post: 3-7).
  • @PolyGST #14: 3 successes and 7 failures (post: 7-3).
  • @PolyGST #19: 4 successes and 6 failures (post: 3-7).
  • @rintaro_step #5 (12 September, 00:24): 2 successes and 8 failures (post: 3-7).
  • @SanMao18251801 #2: 4 successes and 6 failures (post: 5-5).
  • @llKUGLBLITZll: 9 failures (post: 8).
  • @THETA_G_: 10 upgrades, 4-6 (post: 4-5).
  • @parezoparezo #94: 3 successes and 7 failures (post: 4-6). #100: 11 upgrades; the first 10 give 3-7 (post: 4-6).
  • @nbb20200703 #19 (4 October, 13:40): 6 successes and 4 failures (post: 5-5).
  • Distance: @aifan4253, 10'554 km in the video (post: 10'559); @rullural, 11'916 km (post: 11'917); @kanueco1129, 37'760 km, because the badge only shows whole kilometres (post: 37'760.15).
SCORES DIFFERING FROM PLAYERS' CALCULATIONS
  • @web3_senshi: challenge 3 shows 8 failures, so it is the scored challenge: 13'200 km × 80% = 10'560 (score 10'960, not 7'000).
  • @GREEN69GREEN: the first video (3-7) has the most failures, so it is the scored challenge: 11'506 km × 70% = 8'054.2 (score 8'454.2, not 6'000).
  • @piko_bcg: 6'059 × 0.8 = 4'847.2 (post: 4'874). @Yusuke92474342: 9'437 × 0.8 = 7'549.6 (post: 7'552).
  • @aifan4253: 85 sets of level 2 upgrades. With 10'554 km read from the video, the score is −19'167.6 (post: −19'165 with 10'559 km).
  • @m2e_beginner: 19'200 km × 50% + 2 extra challenges − 10 level 2 sets = 7'000, as stated in the post.
NOT COUNTED
CHECKS AGAINST REPOSTED OR OLD VIDEOS
  • The same recording posted twice (same distance, phone clock time, results and length): @aifan4253 on 11 August at 23:52 and 23:53; @aifan4253 on 21 August at 06:49 (twice); @CryptoNeoZino on 31 August at 09:12 and 09:13. Each recording is counted only once.
  • No video appears in two different players' entries: distance, phone clock time and results never match from one player to another.
  • No video shows a lower distance than the first video the player posted: no recording predates their first entry.
