Sometimes I wonder why I bother...

Went to bed an even 5.0 and was surprised that at 5:10 it was up to a 5.2222. Then at 6:10 it was a paltry 5.0909 and then thank you for the 2! Dropped me into the 4.9 range again.

Sooo appreciated.

Trolls are on the loose again, have just been hit by a three when I was close to reaching the magic mark. Now it's 0.24 0.39 0.3 under again. Sigh.

Dropping, but it usually does that over the first night. My wife likes it, so I had predicted no better than a low 5 for mine.

I am sure this is a stupid question - but how do you know what score affects your average; i.e., 5.0909 to a 4.9 range means a 2 score? Thanks! Erin

Math. If your vote count changes by one, you can figure out from the new average what that vote was (assuming someone else didn't also change their existing vote).

Both my FS scores are doing very nicely (both shots will end up on my profile page), thank you very much for asking!

It is fun to have a friend to compete with in this challenge....so what is the bet?

What?? Math? I don't know no stinkin math! Actually I should have clarified what I meant was there a secret way to unlock to view your scores... because you can't know if someone gave you a 2 or someone else changed or two people gave you a 1 and a 3 etc etc etc.... blah blah blah :-) But now that I know it's math plus interpretation I won't begin to calculate because for me X+Y/Z=4.545

YES!! Now an excel spreadsheet I can work with that :-) I should have known someone on here would build one - we have some smart photogs around here. Thank you for passing that along.

Earlier this week I took a great "twisted" photo. I thought about quitting my day job and become a professional photographer and travel the world shooting photos of beautiful places and people.

Then I get this score...

You can't quit your day job - that is what enables you to buy the equipment to capture great photos. It's all a means to an end.... one day I hope to sell some actual photos so that I can continue to fund my habit, I mean hobby. Whatever :-)

3.5 and still falling.

Sorry Don, I may be taking the brown glory this time.

I just thought up a theory for some of the lower scores. The voters may be "normal". I think to enjoy "twisted" photos, you may need to be "twisted" yourself. It's just a theory. My photo currently is scoring a 4.7. That's the normal way of looking at it. Those of us who are twisted will see that my score is 7.4.

The previous poster rinac is enjoying a score of 5.3 not 3.5.

trolls bashed me... i was on 6.05 this morning, going for my PB, but went down till evening. but nevertheless, still a decent score for me.
