cheater! You can't have the floor mutate. Otherwise the playing field is different and it's an unfair win. That's the whole point of the seed :P

Edit: I suppose mk will have to weigh in on this.

Yeah, you've gotta defeat Mt. Hubski. No mutating it into a foothill.

It totally defeats the purpose if the floor is mutable. That's the only thing the hubski seed does.

In response to the question: "Are there limits on mutation size and mutation rate?"

The only way this makes sense as a contest of length is to use the same seed word.
