I hit the 30-challenge mark and was curious what my overall bell curved looked like. It was raining today and I was bored[as you can tell] so I added up my votes received. So heres my bell curve after 30 challenges.



Anyone have a odd bell curve after 20 or more challenges?

Can you explain what that is showing exactly?

Without the axis labelled I can't work out that the Y axis represents. I was expecting to maybe see score or even rank, but I am not sure what this represents.

Edit: Ok, read the original post again and then made sense of the graph.

Interesting, very interesting indeed.

Y=Total Votes Received over the 30 challenges in relation to the X axis [1-10]scale

Example: In 30 challenges I have received a total of 76-"1's", etc.

Just ran mine for the past 20 entries (I'm lazy) and got a similar shaped curve but slightly skewed to the right. That is reasonable because my overall average is about 5.2.
Would be interesting to see if anyone has a bimodal distributiuon!

My curve compared to SDW65


My curve over the last 24 challenges, split into 6-challenge chunks


I'm bored. :p

I don't have time to do this right now, and I don't think I have any graphing software. My parents are coming in tomorrow. If anyone wants to run this for my challenges to date, I bet I'd show with a low spike and a middle spike both :-)

Hehehe - I was wondering the same about mine.

Violent swings - been through a tizzy lately:
97% - 100% - 77% - 9% - 92% - 12% - 99% - 91% - 80% - 92% - 49% - 72%

At least I'm completely unpredictable!

This is true, but the graph only took me about 20 minutes to enter the data from the website and plot and format. =P
