RE: Daily Brain Games - Winners of the week and current leaderboard

in #contest7 years ago

Thanks @ksolymosi. Wow, 2 minutes made the difference between me having a good first week under this new format (34 points) versus a lousy one (4 points).

So I know we have a very limited set, just one week's worth of data to work with so far. I tried to do my own analysis and something piqued my curiosity as I went through the data. So I thought I'd ask this: Did you choose the weekly rewards to be the amounts you stated because they are exactly (in both SBD and XP) what a player would win for answering all 5 puzzles in a single week correctly and winning 1, 2, or 3 contests (for 3rd, 2nd, and 1st place respectively) that week?

Hi @doughtaker! Congrats first of all... :-)
Well, though it would be probably too early to evaluate the new system, but I really enjoyed this week. The number of participants is still limited, however, there was more activity than ever before.

Yes, the choice of the amount was somewhat intentional... I wanted to "donate" those who follow my posts closely enough to be able to answer these randomly posted games as fast as possible. SBD is exactly the same, XP is a little bit higher (rounded up a little bit). :-)

I know that this way chances are not the same for everyone, because we are living in a lot of timezones, but I try to post at various times (last week once I posted in the morning, once in relatively late in the evening, then around midday, in the afternoon... etc.) And by opening a bigger time window to let answers arrive until next day's post, probably chances will start to equalize in the long run.

Cool. Yeah, it's definitely good to see the increased activity -- 10 people turned in correct answers this week, with 7 doing so multiple times. And more individuals participating should be expected soon, at least based on the other comments so far. =)

I shall try my best to be prepared for next week.

All right, looking forward to it. :-)))
