Now i am confused...
I put my scores on excel and the average calculated doesnt match with the average displayed on my profile...
I tried with and without the actual score... and in both cases the average on my profile is different than the average calculated on excel...
Why??? |

Just recalculated my average using a calculator.
The numbers dont match with the average displayed on my profile (no matter if i use or not the score of the actual challenge)...
o.O
edit to typo and to say that i had to have 6,4080 on my actual score to have the average displayed.... and i am very far from it... with a 5,89...
This is VERY strange...

because you have to do a weighted average. You need to figure out the number of votes in each challenge. Let's say you got a 6.1 in challenge 1 and a 5.2 in challenge two. You can't just average those two numbers, because challenge one only had 93 votes, while challenge 2 had 256 votes. So your average will be closer to the 5.2 end, not right in the middle.
(sorry, too sleepy to do the actual math)
haven't read the pm yet, will read it tomorrow--thanks! |

Thanks for the tip...
For paste on excel, you just need to use the paste special option...
If you get any problems, mail me because i already pasted your numbers on a spreadsheet!! (and i will input a average calculation with the weighted average now!!) =D |

Current Statistics:
Challenges Entered: 295
Votes Cast: 67,638
Avg Vote Cast: 5.9027
Votes Received: 57,953
Avg Vote Received: 5.7469
Here are your needed numbers to achieve your goals:
To reach a 5.7 you will need to average a 5.156 for the next 5,000 votes received which is approx. 33 challenges or 5.428 for the next 10,000 votes (approx. 66 challenges).
To reach a 5.8 you will need to average a 6.415 for the next 5,000 votes received which is approx. 33 challenges or 6.108 for the next 10,000 votes (approx. 66 challenges).
Hope this helps. I think you should keep trying to achieve the 5.8 instead of the 5.7 :) |

| Yeah, I shouldn't have DQ'd the 4.3'ish FS but at the time I was still in my "see if I can improve" mind set. Now I can let those run with ease! :-) And Wendy, I think scoring wise I've been either stagnating or going downhill since about midway through year 2 here. Carlo, I really do try to get better (and I think I do improve) but DPC tends to think otherwise. So I'm trying to find a way to make playing the game a wee bit less depressing. Probably best just to stay away from challenges - that usually works! |

LOL, Carlo! Pick the 12 before that and you'll find only 1 above 6 and two in the 4s! :-) I'm nothing if not terribly inconsistent.
Edit to add that I am still very pleased with the ones that scored in the 4s, by the way. My FS of Christoph is still one of my favorite shots all year. :-)

ach, yer reckless magnate - 
I see you're in need of a period of post military detox., Deb.
Just follow my lead, all right?
Stop looking whre you're going!
And get those hands back in your pockets.
What is that, a backbone or an RSJ? Slouch, already.
This may take some time... |

I like this analogy.
European code also is designated sometimes as 230v. Regardless your voltage may vary - make sure the grounding wire is secure. |

| LOL, Peter! Yes, perhaps I need some decompression. Or the reality of being out of a job for the first time since I was about 13 is starting to sink in. Oh, and I seriously need better challenge entry titles - yours put mine to shame! |

I think a better game would be to try and predict what your ( Melethia)'s overall average will be in say 10 challenges time.
We could all have a guess and the person closest is the winner ?

Let's race! I'm barely holding on to a 5.6 and will probably drop back into the 5.5's with my current 3 entries all at 5.4. Maybe some more competition is needed? Or we can partner up some how if you'd like. You can do it Melethia! Don't let me pass you :)

That brings up an interesting topic for site council. It would be nice to see a yearly avg. Perhaps DPC would add a new Overall AVG section.
Current Look at the statistics:
Challenges Entered: 64
Votes Cast: 3,971
Avg Vote Cast: 5.4641
Votes Received: 10,538
Avg Vote Received: 5.6173
Proposed look:
2008 Avg Vote Received: 5.5632
2009 Avg Vote Received: 5.7529
2010 Avg Vote Received: 6.3687 (In my dreams)
Overall Stats:
Challenges Entered: 64
Votes Cast: 3,971
Avg Vote Cast: 5.4641
Votes Received: 10,538
Avg Vote Received: 5.6173
What do you think?

Or maybe even a last 10, last 50, last 100 challenge avg.
Last 10: 6.1001
Last 50: 5.7521
Last 100: 5.5632

My current average is 5.7469. I did have it as high as 5.7500 briefly this year. My guess is that in 10 challenges, my average will be 5.7432. |

last time I looked your previous ten average was over 6 . . but that tells me nothing mathematically . .
Well I'm going to guess at 5.7 . . hmmm . . what to go for ?
Heck - I'm going to go for the 5.7500 !
Any one else coming in or this or is it just between Deb and myself ? |

Funny my avarage as of right now is 5.6999 so I think I'll aim for 5.7 as well :)
Given the actual average moves slow it doesn't give you an imprestion of if you are improving. I keep track of my running average over ten entries to see if I'm improving (I keep a chart on my profile), I think it shows I'm slowly getting there. |

8 challenges later (counting two in voting) and I am getting close! Average is now 5.7440 and falling quickly. I am not trying to fail, honest! I come by it naturally! :-)
That x.xx69 seems so very long ago.... |
