In a setting with students and test grades, the teacher adds up all the scores and divides by the number of students. What's the difference between this and what your average is?Quote:

Students don't get to hand in several test papers.
2 students, 6 and 7 -> average 6.5
2 students, 6 , 7, 10, 1 -> average 12
That's it, -1 on the next male entry.
Jesus christ xD
Sagensyg, stop trolling. AK, stop insulting. We're just playing a little game here. :roll2
Not abuse, just a incentive for you to participate. A very strong incentive that also tastes of threat. Tasty threat... :quina:Quote:

The difference is, is that instead of dividing by the number of people participating, he is suggesting that they instead, divide by the number of submissions.Quote:

If, in another case, 6 people submitted 20 items with scores of 5, we would have a final score of 20*5/6. That's 16.67; here, we would have the number of people contributing work being the same, but they did more work, and got a higher score for it.
The problem with having outrageously high scores above 10 can be solved by dividing by the number of submissions, instead of number of participants. The primary problem is that people can submit more than one item. By removing the number of participants from the bottom of the equation, we should have a more realistic and fair statistic. In the case that we have 7 participants, each one of them submitting 10 items, all with scores of 9, we instead have (7*10*9)/(7*10); final score of 9, which is less than 10. If the total number of submissions is limited to 10, then the equation turns out to become 10*9/10 (which is 9), the total score divided by the number of submissions.
By dividing the total score by submissions and not participants, we should have a mathematically reasonable answer, remove the gender participation disparity, and therefore, have a more successful event. Although to be perfectly fair, AK was the only one here using the correct version of an "average." The assumption you've taken dividing by the number of students in your example, is that each student could only submit one item, thus making the number of tests and students to be the same value.
In summary, AK is entirely correct in this situation and you all (that means all of you) owe him an apology, and we should be dividing by submissions into the total score.

And you should realize I'm a judge, and I can have a baboon sodomize your entries. :)
Now, come on people, I want to see those entries. I've yet to see anyone singing. The Alladin song gives +2 in my score. :p
Which one?
Hmm, the one I did with KC. Uh... A whole new world, I think.
Either gender would need the other gender to do it properly, but they're enemies. Hmmm
Lol, girlxgirl or guyxguy A Whole New World.
