[grendelbo]

Thanks, Mike & CGC data-crunchers.

 

 

[CGC Mike]

I'll post the spread after it has been fixed.  A book from round 4 was accidently added by CGC.  Some people saw the grade.  So, I posted a different book for round 4.  If you have already submitted your grades, you will have to do so again to include the new book.  Sorry...

@AJD  

@Yorick Yorick, I'm coming for you next!

Here's the spread.

According to Mike's grade distribution table, only 91 players completed Round 3 (down from 104 at sign-up, 97 in Round 1, and 92 in Round 2).  Here are the key measures of central tendency for this round (Mean = the average grade; Median = the middle grade in a numerically rank-ordered list; Mode = the most common grade):

Book	CGC	Grade Distribution Statistics
#	Grade	Mean	Median	Mode
11	5.5	5.1	5.0	5.5
12	4.0	3.4	3.5	3.5
13	9.0	8.7	9.0	9.0
14	7.5	7.1	7.0	7.0
15	9.0	9.1	9.2	9.4

The Board scored fewer bulls-eyes in Round 3 (91 total, or 20% of all grades submitted) than in Round 1 (125 total, or 26% of the grades submitted), but more than in Round 2 (79 total, or 17% of all grades submitted) .  Here are a few other notable observations based on the data reported above:

• Book #11 (Captain Flight #10):  A relatively easy book for the Board as a whole with 21% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and 54% within one grade increment of CGC.  Collectively, the Board was almost one grade increment more critical than CGC (5.1 vs 5.5). 
• Book #12 (JIM #108):  The toughest book for the Board as a whole, with only 12% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and 55% within one grade increment of CGC.  Collectively, the Board was slightly more than one grade increment more critical than CGC (3.4 vs 4.0).  Since when does a book with three missing pieces, multiple food stains on the front cover, and other noteworthy blemishes merit a grade of VG? 
• Book #13 (Silver Surfer #14):  The easiest book for the Board as a whole, with 27% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and 75% within one grade increment of CGC.  Collectively, the Board was about one-half grade increment more critical than CGC (8.7 vs 9.0).  There's not much to say here, as the shot grouping is usually pretty tight on these 9.0/9.2 examples. 
• Book #14 (Swamp Thing #4):  Another relatively easy book for the Board as a whole, with 20% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and 60% within one grade increment of CGC.  Collectively, the Board was, once again, almost one grade increment more critical than CGC (7.1 vs 7.5).  As @Point Five noted yesterday, "If you sell me a raw 7.5 with a gash out of the back like that, you may as well include a return shipping label."    (As an aside, it's only a matter of time before we see Jon's name placed alongside Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw as "the most quotable figures in the history of the English language."  )
• Book #15 (Astonishing Tales #25):  Yet another relatively easy book for the Board as a whole, with 20% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and 57% within one grade increment of CGC.  Collectively, the Board was about one-half grade increment more lenient than CGC (9.1 vs 9.0).

Now rounding the far turn and coming down the home stretch ......

That's me, for sure.   

[CGC Mike]

Thanks for the commentary, @zzutak  Much appreciated.  I'll attempt to regroup with the PM's and make sure everyone is on the right track for round 4.

Here's the spread.

[Doctor Dositheus]

Very closely aligned with the board consensus this round.
