We were amazed by the scores you got on the four CASP practice puzzles (1-1, 2-1, 3-1, and 4-1). The top groups were There Will Be Cake, which won two of the four, L'Alliance Francophone and Teamliquid.net. The top players were anjen, Mike_AitkenDeakin, Bolby, and Zalrosee.

hehe this is pretty fun
after i finished the beginning puzzles i tried casp 4-2 transduction and got ~100th with 10650pts. I'm not sure how much 'skill' is in this since my strat so far was simply to push everything together, get as many h-bonds as i can and then s+w to get a high score >_>

Just so everyone knows, I tried to play this on my laptop but it kept crashing whenever I was trying to open a puzzle. I found out the problem was I needed to update my graphics card driver. Kind of strange since I got the laptop pretty recently.

what am I supposed to do in this game, the "helpful descriptions" in the top left corner are useless and do not help at all. Am I supposed to get as little or as much points as possible? In level 3 I had like 8100 but I couldnt pass despite the fact that the protein seemed solved, so it should be as much as possible?

This game is hard. But its great that they are finding a way to use free brainpower, this is a very good business model. The laws of folding proteins are simple, then actually figuring out how each actually does it is hard, thats why it doesn't matter if you got a phd or is just a 12 year old gamer.

Most problem are not like this, but in this case it is probably advantegous to just bring in the masses of people to help.
