CLEAN, 3rd place - Bridge Captain

Name: Nick Cost: $ 16088 Download Bridge

Poor Ricleite! If I were him I'd burst into tears right now ;). Nick was able to 'outbuild' him by the amount of only and exactly $1. Though, the bridges are not that similar (see Ric's bridge on the summary page). Nick chose the 'lift-one-long-and-stiff-part' technique and impressively demonstrated his extraordinary skills. Well done, Nick! (Move your mouse over the image to see the drawbridge up with maximum stress.)

DIRTY, 3rd place - Bridge Bandit

Name: RKone Cost: $ 14745 Download Bridge

Closely followed by SpiderJ ($14861) RKone's half-dirtified bridge reaches rank 3. I'm not sure, but I think I haven't seen that two-pylon-suspension-support (on the rightmost part) before. Maybe a candidate for the inventor-title? Surely the left part of the bridge can be made cheaper for the dirty category. Another Bridge Bandit title for RKone!

Suspense, suspense ... remember, there were two constructors announcing <16k clean bridges in the CBCDF ...

On to ... Bridge Major and Bridge Mafioso!
