I've been helping copy-edit a book on digital media, and a lot of the book is devoted to the subject of "color", so I think I can help here.

The problem, really, is that there are two definitions of "color" used in the English language.

One is that of chrominance, or hue -- i.e. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet -- which is considered in absence of luminance (where it falls on the black-white scale) and saturation (where it falls on the gray-neon scale).  Under this definition, black, white, and perfect greys are not colors (the formula for converting from red-green-blue intensity to hue-saturation-luminance intensity includes a divide by zero in this case, and thus hue is undefined.)

The other definition is of the combined result of the three factors -- a certain point in the 3-dimensional space formed by the axis of luminance, with saturation going inwards and outwards from the axis of luminance, and hue being the circular third axis.  By this definition, every color has a point, and so black, white, and greys in between are colors.

You: Oh sure, and "non timetis messer".
Santa: I see. I understand. I do not speak Latin
You: Do you speak Latin or not?
Santa: No but I know a few phrases like "et cetera" and "cogito egro sum".
You: It's "cogito ergo sum" not "cogito egro sum".
Santa: battletoads is cogito ergo sum not cogito egro sum? cogito ergo sum not cogito egro sum is?
You: We are Anonymous. We are Legion.
Santa: Do you think I am Anonymous too?Do you think I am Legion too?
You: You are not Anonymous, you are a namefag
Santa: That's only one person's opinion.
You: Ergo, boobies.
Santa: By the way, do you mind if I ask you a personal question?
You: Depends on the question.
Santa: The question is always an important factor.
You: Just remember, Hogswatch is a time for being jolly. And other things rhyming with "olly".
Santa: Don't worry I will remember. Which others? Where did you hear that?
You: Watching the "Hogfather" movie last night.
Santa: Can you speak any foreign languages?
You: Nyet.
Santa: My brain contains 43499 categories, but not one that matches your last input.

Santa: Really interesting.Right now? Do you mind if I tell other people you are logging off. Why do you hope for your day has been made sufficiently weirdNot all of them?
You: Yiff Yiff Yiff Yiff Yiff Yiff Yiff Yiff
Santa: What you said was either too complex or too simple for me.
You: yiff yiff yiff yiff yiff yiff yiff yiff
Santa: So was that.
You: yiff
Santa: Perhaps I'm just expressing my own concern about it.
You: LOL. You're a furry?
Santa: I'm glad you find this amusing.Thanks and you are a delightful person too. Am I a furry? Of course I am.

If you click "overall" and it shows a bunch of points, that's points from the various charts (0 points for first place, 1 for 2nd, 2 for third, etc) in a group, all added up, to give you an overall score.  Done automatically.

THere's also some places where "overall" shows a bunch of times, which are just the normal "times" -- they don't count twice, there's just an extra link, that's all.

I always assumed it was legal to submit chaotix extra times/rings on chaotix normal times/rings charts, and have done so in the past both here and on cyberscore.  Furthermore I recall having asked about this very issue and being told it was okay.

Personally, I'd have to suggest "When Tails Gets Bored" -- downloadable at http://sfghq.emulationzone.org/view_info.php?sec=1&id=45

Has some great gimmick levels in it, and it's pretty hard.  Of course I suck at 2-D games, but at least this one I found fun.

Some of it's really stimulating.  I'm thinking of working out some sort of huge tournament, but I'm at 31 characters and looking for a 32nd.  And then of course I need to find time when I don't feel like doing anything else which'll be a while...
