The numbers wouldn't really make any sense without seeing more details of the setup and how they were input into the event spreadsheet. I didn't run the event so it's hard for me to decipher and I don't know what blades looked like.

Okay, that got me curious about the difference between 25th and 10th in hydro.

Oh and the difference between 12th and 6th in It's about Time if you could please.

Four points for a 15 place difference makes me so happy considering I didn't fail as bad as I thought I did.

Oh...sorry about that. Do you know the spread of the overall scores then?

I have a hunch that the score questions are going to keep continuing for a while :roll:

Chalker, do you know if you can tell me the top score (and the maximum possible score) for Green Generation C and Hydrogeology C, as well as 6th place and mean for each? Thank you so much! :)

9 and 2 points would have gotten you a medal in both cases.

Thanks Chalker! Also, if it's not too much trouble, do you know how many points separated 1st and 2nd place in code busters (trial)?

(daydreamer0023: well im a curious child :P )
