GRADING CONTEST : Round 8

[Norrin_Radd]

Sent my grade & got this:

 

 

Not good.

 

I got last week. I was way off.

 

Think I did better this week. Only got a .

 

Now if I could only remember what grade I sent.

[Warlord]

[Karma23]

I went 8.5...started to say 9.0 but after that last round I backed off a bit, I'm so confused!

[Aces]

I finally got one right!

 

But screwed up my PLOD guess.

 

Even when I get it right I don't...

[Warlord]

I went 8.5...started to say 9.0 but after that last round I backed off a bit, I'm so confused!

 

Me too. Mostly though we just need Nik to clean his scanner glass and quit scratching up the slabs...

 

Every flaw I asked about seemed to be just a slab flaw or a mirage...

[Dick Pontoon]

Sent my grade & got this:

 

 

Not good.

 

My heart bleeds for you. I have about 8 of those.

 

[Pirate]

whoops got my rounds mixed up, i nailed this one

[mar-vell]

originally had it at 9.0 but went the safer route by guessing 9.2 - oh well all playing it safe has cost me is first place!

[shiverbones]

woo-hoo! Nailed my first one!

[Scrooge]

Hesitated between 8.5 and 9.0 and sure enough went with 8.5.

[divad]

What a lame-azz POS DC

 

[toro]

Another goose egg for me!!! I don't think I've scored since round 3!!!

[Aman619]

Hesitated between 8.5 and 9.0 and sure enough went with 8.5.

 

ditto.

[shiverbones]

i was torn between 8.5 & 9.0 too, but went with the bump thinking back to that tec 413.

[Mr. Zipper]

Grades received were

 

6.0 - 1

 

action1kid is that you?

 

[Fan4Fan]

There were 4 people who took a shot at this book being the PLOD.

 

How many people haven't guessed PLOD yet?

 

Maybe the PLOD points should have been progressive...

 

Of course, Nik would then have made it the first book...

[nik]

Alot

 

Progressive PLOD points

 

 

I said from the start you need a lucky horseshoe to find it

 

But when will it ever show up?

[Sid]

So either I severely over grade, or severely under grade based on the book in the previous round. I need to work on my strategy better.

[Fan4Fan]

So either I severely over grade, or severely under grade based on the book in the previous round. I need to work on my strategy better.

 

I know the feeling... but I also take all of the other prior rounds into consideration.

 

Like this one, I was over (and I based it on some of the grades in prior rounds).

 

If I had just considered the book for this round, I probably would have nailed it.

 

Of course, when I tried *that* strategy earlier... I was way undergrading....

[nik]

What strategy did you use to come up with your grade for Round 9
