Re: Most described mouse

Duncan,

The problem with that is that we have in the past awarded a Judges prize to a mouse that didn't
complete a run, for sheer off-the-wall imagination and insuperable optimism.

See http://www.micromouse.mmu.ac.uk/2002/censored.shtml 

I favour "completion" for lightest and "completion except in excpetional circumstances" for most
completely desribed.
