For the last 16 challenges, my scores have been over then under the 50% mark... over, under, over, under, over, under... and so forth. My next two challenges are on course to maintain this odd phenomena. I am most definitely not doing this on purpose; after nearly 8 years, you'd think I'd have learned to hit the 50% mark just a wee bit more often, wouldn't you? But still, it's a unique sort of record. Pretty sure no one can match it!
What other unique or odd records are out there? Yes, you can even post those where you actually do well! Most consecutive 7s for instance... |

That one will most likely be sub-50%... :-) |

I got three entries in a row that hit right about the one-third mark. All together, they equal a blue ribbon, right?

Nothing special about my challenge results except that I can't seem to land a red ribbon. So close on both sides, but never quite second place...not that I am complaining, though! edit to add: Even my highest scoring entry only made it to the yellow ribbon.
However,  ursula mentioned something in our DPL team thread awhile back and I can't remember exactly what it was. So I did some looking around her challenge results and found that she has placed in every single position from 1 through 50. If you look past 50 you'll see that there are only a few gaps even up to 100.
That's quite a feat and an odd record.

I don't know how "odd" that is; I have placed in every position up to 116th; I have no 117 or 118, then the streak picks up again, though I stopped tracking at 125th...
In a related category, I have at least one finish in every percentile from 0% to 100%, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

I have one entry at -2% (minus two percent)
It happened because I was the brown entry, and afterwards another entry got DQ'ed/removed. So now I'm no 47 of 46 entries.

| Actually, Bear, that's probably the story that I was trying to remember. I remember the conversation coming up with Ursula and, now that you mention it, I remember that you were also a part of that conversation. I guess it was your stats that were the most unique after all. |

| I have no 4th place finishes. I could have that as a lifetime goal. |

I have every percentile and every placing between 1-100 except for 59th and 90th. Gotta work on that I guess ;-) |

I used to buy those "picture LP's" I thought they were pretty unique.
Oh...nevermind. |

Obviously due to the new in-challenge commenting 'feature' that was brought in that was only half-done. Annoys me every time.

Well, you've got the most entries period, and you've got no ribbons, so when I do the math... :-)

LOL. I believe I have enough for both of you. I think I still own the record for most green ribbons. |

I guess "green people" are those who are watching your challenge results :), but what are "green ribbons"? |

| Take a look at his list. Green ribbons are for 4th place which just misses getting a real (still virtual) ribbon. |

I have 51 Challenge entries that are woodies. Does that count for something?
...also just received my 11,111th comment. If I know my doomsday trivia, that is the last number on the Mayan Comment Counter. The end is near here. |
