Yeah its only one segment, and I plan to keep it that way for memory and speed reasons.  Unlike your physics engine Ashbad, I am actually calculating each collision between each object, and so I have N^2 collisions (well, not quite since its a bit more complicated and when objects are stationary they go into "sleeping mode" where they no longer look for collisions) but it's still a large speed hog, and so I decided to just stick to single segmented rope.  I may, however, upgrade the graphics of the rope when it is not taught such that it looks like it is slack, but I'll have to run some more tests.

The physics engine is based off of my experience with Zedd, and so its completely receptive to force based changes.  Meaning I can have the physics engine running by itself and solving for all the movements of all the objects, and then I can randomly attach a rope to an object without telling the physics engine, and as long as I keep updating the rope on my end, the physics engine does the same ^^

Right, note to self: don't try and compete physics-wise.

This is going to be a tough contest to win.

My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

My guess. Too much time sitting around in class with nothing to do and/or real interest in it so lots of research.
or he's a robot/computer program

Maybe the person with the rocks running the universe told him how the universe works.

I know physics really well because I have taken 3 advanced physics classes, as well as many advanced mathematics classes, and because I have taken calculus based physics ^-^

He knows physics because he is Gordon Freeman.

Do you mean Morgan Freeman?

He seems more like Feynman to me

Looking great!  I most definitely approve, though I'm not as intimidated as everyone else - I started on my entry today, and it kicks ass.
