How Far Can You Hit A Penquin ? Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Mouse click anywhere in screen, and caveman batter gets set, and penquin dives off cliff.
A second click, and the batter swings, thus propelling said penquin for distance.

My best so far is 539.7. Took a while.

not all of us have time for silly web games

yes I realize I abandoned my pledge not to post here today. I said I can only do 2 of 3 activities. computer games, TV, and posting at poly. Obviously I'm not playing computer games right now. And web games don't really qualify as a real computer game. So no, I don't have time.

Slowwy, follow the peguin down the slope with your mouse cursor. It helps for timing.

After three failed swings, 335.8 something or others. And then I was done.

And you only got me because I wanted to know what a penquin was, and why you wanted to hit them.

That's probably pretty close to the maximum.

Had a number of swings right on the edge (between bouncing and not bouncing). Doubt you can go much above 550

Penquin? I mean that is worrying because it was repeatly spelt like that in the opening post! How on earth can you think it is spelt like that. I mean, didn't the link you copied-and-pasted give it away?

Very shrewd, PH.
Distract the steroid-laden penGuin hitters with a flash of grey matter, while managing to avoid mentinioning that you're the King Of The Whiff.

You'll go far.
