Smack the Penguin


This is what I really do all day at work.

http://www.spleck.net/smack_the_penguin/

THE ANNUAL SMACK THE PENGUIN GAME IS HERE!


1. Click once on the snowman and the penguin will leap from the cliff.
2. Click on the snowman again to hit the penguin as he descends from the
cliff.
3. What's your distance? Good Luck!

actually you can click anywhere.

That's why we get paid the big bucks.

I got 300 on my first hit. Of course I missed the first 4 times.

800?

So is smacking the penquin some kind of naughty euphemism I should know about? Hey didn't you PF women dress in penquin attire for a time?

My best was 310.5, but I really prefer the <100yd. worm-burners from an artistic standpoint. I'm particularly delighted by the way the flag lands when I've had good hang time.

320.5!!!!

I've discovered that if you hit early, you get a higher trajectory, once the trajectory goes past a certain point, you always land at 200 ft, give or take, and get stuck face first. So the trick is to find the crossover point between getting stuck and bouncing forward, that way you bounce at 200 ft and slide for a ways. This should maximize the distance. My geekiness is showing again isn't it?

319.3, its kinda funny when you hit it right though, and it the penguin doesn't bounce and lands head first with his feet in the air.
