bottle challenge

[jonny]

i did the bottle challenge today in 2 hours 25 minutes and 25 seconds but i got home and noticed a problem.
On this map edgware road (bak) and marylebone appear inside the bottle, but here they are outside the bottle. I didn't do them. In the challenge do they count as inside or outside?

They are exempt due to being outside of the circle physically. See this 396Kb PDF file.

I disagree, the stations should be included, as they are within the Circle Line on the tube map (which is how the "bottle" gets it name).

Only since 1949:

We need Tubuguru to adjudicate!

However, since 'the bottle' first got posted on my site here:

I'll call it, and say that because the map their shows Edgware Road as being inside, then you have to do it!

When I did the bottle in 2hrs 17m 40s, I did both Edgware Road (Bak) and Marylebone. There was a slightly hairy moment because I did that run with the minimum of research and it took me a minute or so to figure out which way to leave one Edgware Road to run to the other.

Therefore, I'd say it is in, but I would, wouldn't I!

Well, the map I have put at the top of the Bottle Challenge page (http://www.tubechallenge.com/circle_bottle.html) shows ER Bakerloo INSIDE the circle line.

I would say you have to do what THAT map shows only.
