About this task
Rule: All pilots launch simultaneously. 3 min max. 5 flights per round.
The Challenge: Five simultaneous launches create maximum group chaos. More flights means more opportunities but also more time pressure — 5 flights × 3 min = 15 min minimum if all max, but working time is typically 10 min, forcing rapid turnarounds.
Decision factors:
- More flights but same time pressure — turnaround speed matters
- Can afford 2 failed launches and still score well with 3 good ones
- Group dynamics are amplified: 5 launches means 5 chances for divergent outcomes
- Higher landing-out rate (7.7%) suggests the extended format invites more risk
What the data says: 65 entries. Average (733) and difficulty (72.8) similar to C1, suggesting the extra flights don't dramatically change outcomes. The additional attempts help recover from group failures but also create opportunities for over-commitment.
