You got impaled by the glass shards. You ded.

The contest has now come to an end. Thank you for participating, and stay tuned for the results in Issue 43! :)

Ah, the joy of pwning nugs with your Firewall kit B) Um, well, not completely. What with noob BP users trying to block you everytime you make a dash for the flag, it's a wonder I managed to capture 6 out of the 9 flags you see in the score.

If the sky was homogenous, we'd be seeing a transparent world everyday.

My first disaster of an article - looking at it, one can only imagine how I managed to become a reporter after that :P And also, this topic is notorious for the #PointlessChain - @I3loodShot, as I recall, you were the one doing most of it :lol: A reputation of -37 in the days of the downvotes.

Congratulations to all those who need congratulations :lol:

I actually liked this - this is what one looks for in a guide. Concisely written, well explained, and excellent use of pictures. I liked the tips for the hulls, especially and adding the most suitable combos was a deft and smart touch. Keep it up! I'm waiting eagerly for the next installment ;)

Hey Viking y u no add me?

I actually wrote this article before Premium Accounts came out, so.... :P

B-b-b-but you just said four of them!

Guys, I'm sorry for being inactive on this group, but you guys plan your events on Sundays, the only day of the week where I can't log on to Tanki till night time.

Okay, so we calculated buoyant force as 20-16 = 4 N. But, the block exerts an equal and opposite force (Newton's 3rd law) on the water in the downward direction, hence making the force downwards 20N (it's weight) + 4N = 24N. However, a buoyant force of 4N and the tension force of the string (16N) act upwards so that makes the force upwards as 4N + 16N = 20N. Since they are in the opposite directions, you can subtract the forces to get the 'net' force, ie sum of the forces in all directions, and you will get it as 4N downwards (24N downwards - 20N upwards). This 4N will add to the existing 40N weight of the bucket of water, thus making the reading on the weighing machine 40N + 4N = 44N.

It's actually 44N, but nice try anyway :)
