Sorry - probably the wrong place but from this thread I went to look at my percentages and I have one last place (brown) but, never got the virtual ribbon for it. How do you get those. Not that its something to be proud of or anything but well you know.
23% of your top 10% entries have ribboned and to think you talk a lot about all the 4s you get you lucky bastard!
Maybe rather than me being unlucky, Shannon is just lucky. I always compare myself to him. He has over twice as many ribbons (35) to me (15), yet I have almost three times as many fourth place finishes (8) as him (3). Go figure that...
Only 13% of those top 10% entries won a ribbon. I wonder who has the best and worst percentage like that.
If you want to see something sick go look up Gary (kiwiness) a full 70% of his 91 entries are Top 10%...
Ahh, the power of statistics and how a few outlying values can skew things. 44% of my top 10% entries ribboned, yet only 16% of my entries are top 10%. 80% of the entries that made the top 10 in a challenge won a ribbon.
Both of my entries that sit in the bottom 10% of challenges were attempts at humour that fell very very flat. Note to self: stop trying to be funny
