| Somebody on here gave a mathematical way to figure what the last score was that you received. I had it saved and now I canĂ¢€™t find it. Does anyone have the link to that discussion or the math to figure it? |

I found it, here it is if anyone wants to see it.
You can only figure out the exact vote you received if only one vote has been given since the last time you wrote the score down. For example (this is from a previous challenge):
At 221 votes the score is 5.6154
221 x 5.6154 = 1241
At 222 votes the score is 5.6126
222 x 5.6126 = 1246
The number of the vote given is the difference of the two:
1246 - 1241 = 5
So, A score of 5 was given.
Lots of times, you have to round the number up a bit when you multiply the vote x score number. The auctual number you get when you multiply 222x5.6126 is 1245.9972 - you round it up to 1246.
If more than one vote has passed since you wrote down your score you have to divide the difference by the number of votes to get an average of the votes given.
For example:
at 255 votes the score is 5.6392
255 x 5.6392 = 1438
at 257 votes the score is 5.6381
257 x 5.6381 = 1449
Subtract the totals:
1449 - 1438 = 11
Two votes were given that equal 11 - so, most likely with the score this picture has been getting the votes are a 5 & 6.
If two votes added up to 11 on a picture that was scoring in the high 6's or 7's you would porbably figure it was an 8 and a 3 or even a 9 and 2.
This sounds long and complicated but it's really super simple when you get in the habit of doing it. Usually, I write my scores down each time I check them and then if you see a sudden drop or rise you can multiply things out and figure out what vote you received. |

I think it should also be noted that sometimes people adjust their scores after voting the first time. So, unless you're on top of those # of views, you may be getting slightly inaccurate results.
...and while I'm at it, I'd like to mention that I vote then comment...so a vote you may receive at the same time as a comment may have nothing to do with each other. |
