I used to take part in a similar event at a lan party in my youth, with dead hard drives instead of servers. They're the perfect discus. Distance was recorded by where the hard drive stopped instead of where it first landed, so underarm bowling became the top strategy. I think the record was well over 200m using one of those round seagate pocket drives.
- getlawgdon 3y agoAs a former discus thrower, I love this but also want to say it is beyond unlikely that anyone was throwing anything 200m, unless you mean down a sheer mountain face...
- Takennickname 3y agoYeah that's the length of two soccer fields (and then a bit more)
- Daneel_ 3y agoSorry for the confusion, I meant that because the measure was from where the disk stopped (instead of where it lands), people were bowling the disks along the ground so they 'rolled' on their corners. Think ten-pin bowling instead of discus.
- riffraff 3y agoWhere you perhaps on a hard surface? I have trouble imagining even a football rolling for 200m on grass, but seems plausible on a road/runway.

- Takennickname 3y agoSorry, dude. It's impossible. No one can roll a ball on grass for that distance let alone a hard drive. Most professional athletes can't even kick a ball for more than 100m, let alone "well over 200m"
