Is that cert an actual thing or did you do it up yourself? It’s quite cute and would make a nice little gift to any new parents IMO.

Wasn't miles off, but as usual I am at the mercy of the rapscallions of this thread

OK... I fear kitten's answer was rushed but I'll have to take it

Aris thinking 1 in 6 girls were called Mary did look bad until then!

Basically anyone who put under a thousand scored alright...

Its entertaining though.


For me, anyway.

Medan was 100. Actual answer was 62. I said 17 and still scored 9.7. I'm buggered if I'll ever understand this standard deviation malarky.

I think kitten broke the median today with her 10,000 Mary's

It appears so, but I have no idea how.

Full marks, and I don't move on the leaderboard at all???

I'm calling shenanigans :mad:

(Hurray for full marks, though! )

I have no idea how the scoring works but I'm not gonna question the spreadsheet maestro...

Siobh73

Just thinking if I'd dropped Eileen from my list of names to divide by, I'd have guessed 60 which was almost spot on and would have scored an extra .1...Gutted!

I have no idea either

Ah well, basically you score according to how far you are from the median compared to the average distance away. Today kitten and Aris made bad booboos meaning the average distance was massive, so anyone not massively off scored highly. In hindsight it doesn't work that well when one or two people are miles off, but how was I meant to anticipate what you lot would do?

Using the median rather than the average stops those answers pulling the best answer around, if it was the average then today it would have been up around 400ish

kitten_k

Lol I just sent the first number that came to mind. Would have been better off not answering!!
