Hi There,
Hmm, you found the loophole! Okay, the rules have been changed to indicate
that all cans must be crushed at least 50%. This should prevent the instant
win, but still keep the formula as it was. The updated formula is a good
one, but since the contest has started I want to change as little as
possible. I suspect that although this was an interesting intellectual
exercise, most builders were actually going to crush cans :-)
Thanks for finding this problem with the rules!
