New Open Community Gauntlet just started!

[h2]πŸš€ New Community Gauntlet Incoming![/h2][p][/p][p]Open Community Gauntlet v0 screen from the Main Menu![/p][p][/p][p]Starting Saturday, December 13th at 18:00 UTC! For the next 3 weeks (until January 3rd), Hard Chip is hosting a brand-new gauntlet entirely designed by the community, crafted by one of the top HC players. This challenge is an open invitation to dive deep into the logic of division, starting from its most fundamental building blocks. Whether you’re a seasoned optimizer or just curious, this journey is built to be explored step by step. πŸ§ βš™οΈ
[/p][p]πŸ“ˆ This is an Incremental Gauntlet: each week builds directly on the previous one, meaning your early decisions matter a lot. Each week’s best solution will be revealed at the start of the next week πŸ₯‡ (use it, study it… or beat it). Speed is king here with Ticks weighted at 40%, but balance still matters βš–οΈ! The remaining 60% can make or break your score. Miss a week, and you risk losing up to 100 points, so consistency counts! πŸ“…πŸ”₯

Garnet theme, you can unlock this gauntlet!
[/p][p]πŸ† The top 3 players at the end of the gauntlet will earn the Editor Garnet Theme.
Week 1 kicks off with a 2-bit subtractor: simple on paper, but full of implications. Will you guess where this is going? 😏
