GRADING CONTEST : Round 8

What strategy did you use to come up with your grade for Round 9 popcorn.gifpoke2.gif

 

I went back to an old, old strategy that used to serve me well. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

 

Of course, I still maintain that the new monitors are making a difference.

 

Or it could be I need glasses... 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

undergraded AGAIN!!!! yeahok.gifforeheadslap.gif

 

In the case of a 9.0, it seems that you get 2 points for guessing 9.2 and 1 point for guessing 8.5 even though each is only one grade apart.

 

That means that in the borderline cases, it's mathematically to your advantage to guess higher if you're unsure. (Which in this case would mean that more people would hit the 9.0 bullseye.)
