When the On the Edge challenge was published, my entry was in 6th place with a 97% percentile. I understand that the original 1. place image was dq'd. I'd think that a photo originally in 6th place should now be in 5th, instead I find it in 7th place with a lowered percentile.
Not that I care about such a minor shift in position, but it doesn't make any sense either. Is it the result of a miscalculation?

Hey ZZ!
That is wierd! Maybe the On the edge of the world shot got bumped up b4 yours. I seem to recall it being after. Maybe someone will pop in with an answer for you. Good Luck!

Zeus, do you really think that's a spoon your holding? The thing to remember is, there is no spoon.
Good luck. :D |

I just did some hand calculations of the first 10 results.
Here are the results shown by place, DPC score, (My calc)
#1, 6.893, (6.893)
#2, 6.838, (6.838)
#3, 6.657, (6.657)
#4, 6.552, (6.552)
#5, 6.536, (6.523)
#6, 6.525, (6.508)
#7, 6.522, (6.530)
#8, 6.519, (6.521)
#9, 6.485, (6.469)
#10, 6.484, (6.477)
I got the first four scores correct and triple checked my calcs for each of the top ten entries. Something seems to be messed up...
Would anyone care to verify calcs on entries 5-10? |

Unfortunately, I'm in the middle of tons of work -- but I just wanted everyone to know that this has been pointed out to me (thanks Eddy!). Either Langdon or I will get to it by tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.

They changed it somehow, although still a little weird:
Before the DQ of the 1st place, I was on 11st place. So I thought I would be on the 10th after the DQ. Wasn't so, still on 11 on the second result page. Ten images were before me.
I wasn't so sure if I recalled my initial standing correct, so I didn't get deeper into it.
Now I'm at the first page with the 10th entry, however, it is still at 11th place, because place 9 is somehow missing!
Funny,

| Yes, I agree. Something is still funny. I thought I was in 8th place before the DQ and I was still in 8th after the DQ and I am still there now that things changed. It sure is not a big deal. I just like being anywhere on the first page! But, something is funny. |

| When there are "problems" like this the site admins have to manually re-code things. I have no idea what their schedule is like, or how hard it is to do and make work correctly. I am sure they will have accurate and updated results posted as soon as practical. |
