seeing the as of date ranking its very clear that the avg of top 10 points ranking of Dothrakis is 8596 vs top 10 ranking avg WILDINGS is ~7572 , it shows that Dothraki's have on avg scored more points than Wilding's.

I am not able to co relate how is it that Wilding's have more correct timers but less avg score (top 10) than Dothrakis? one possibility is that rank 11 onwards Dothrakis are low in points vs that of Wilding's....

Also out of all the 4 teams the avg of top 10 rankings points score is highest of Dothraki's but still their rank is 2? is the contest emphasised on clicking more timers or is it about seeing the total points? shouldn't a % calculation of accuracy i.e correct answer/total timers be also evaluated?
Its very clear that out of all the 4 teams Dothraki's pool is definitely the toughest .. :| though I couldn't participate actively last week in the contest and because of that I myself is lagging by a good margin :roll: ...

hi Archit3110
i feel this as a critical reasoning question directly..

This is a team game, wildings though lacking individual scores ( in top 10) as we do, they as a team is performing very well. Thats what matter. winning a game within the rules.
I think that team is having few players who are selflessly, knowing they wont win any top prize, they are participating just to provide more points to the team per se. Kudos to those few players. infact that is making the difference.

Atlast in a team game, individuals are just part. But the synergy is more important. Which the wildings are showing consistently.

Despite being a Dothrakian, i feel they deserve hence they are leading. But we can take the pride of team of toughest pool in the top rung.

correct me if i am wrong.

The top tens contribute to the total score of their teams as follows:
Top 10 of Wildlings contribute with 37%
Top 10 of Dothrakis contribute with 41%
Top 10 of White Walkers contribute with 48%
Top 10 of Westerosis contribute with 50%

Wildings are icebergs. So much of us is underneath

Right but considering the total timers attempted and avg score wildings haven't performed extraordinarily well that they should be given 1st place...
Efficiency and accuracy should be considered as well..
Dorthrakis have less timer but highest top 10 avg ..
My question to bb is this only why is accuracy being overlooked?
The contest isn't just about clicking timers I guess?
Hypothetically It's like one team has done 500 timers with 450 correct and other team has done 90 correct over 100 timers.. both have 90% accuracy but would you call the team with 450/500 timers better or the one which scored with 90/100 correct ?

Guys, this a pointless argument that is borderline complaining and being poor sports. This is a team event.

I don't understand how you saying it as "poor sports"

See I am neither complaining nor am I saying that it's an unfair contest all I have shared is just an observation.

I'm taking the contest sportingly only, no offence to anyone..

First of all, all teams have equal opportunities. So, it doesn't matter if your team attempt 400 question out of 500 with an accuracy of 100%. Team attempting more questions is working harder than your team, leading to higher score. It is as simple as that. Any team member is getting points because his/her answer was correct/accurate. So, no need to go for the overall accuracy of the team again.

Secondly, team arguing for highest "average top-10" score is like a team, which scored the first goal but lost the match. :-D

hi bb ,

this game made me disciplined to study for longer hours.

Do extend this without prize rewards or anything..

Even in dreams i got few questions this month. such was the dopamine rush..

really if u r not going to substitute with any other similar games just for fun, then i am going to miss this .

really having great fun playing this and has been enjoying to great extent.

thanks for providing us this great opportunity

Thanks to Bunuel nightblade354 and all other invisible moderators who made this a grand success.

in gmatclub terms, 1000 kudos to all.. thank you people.
