Here's one just for the fun of it. Multiply your average votes received by the number of challenges you have entered to get your "DPC Quotient". For instance, if you have entered 25 challenges and your average score is a 5.246 than your DPC Quotient is 131.15.
I've been around for a while. Mine is 1136.68. I know of at least one person who has me beat. anyone else?
Mine's 100.272 over 20 challenges. Probably a pretty reasonable number for someone who's been here less than 3 months. But my 5.01 average vote received is pretty bad.
For the mathematically-challenged who have chimed in expressing confusion, this is a statistic that basically rates persistence over quality. It tells us who the real, long-term, hardcore junkies are. Examples:
20 challenges entered and 7.0 vote average (impossible I know) = DPCQ of 140. 80 challenges entered and 3.0 score average (equally impossible) = DPCQ of 240...
200 challenges entered with a 5.0 average = DPCQ 1000... 150 entered with 6.0 average = DPCQ 900...
You get the idea. It's a fun stat but it means squat about your photography.
... this is a statistic that basically rates persistence over quality.
Aha! I appreciate the elucidation, although you might have put it a bit more delicately, perhaps something like "... a peculiarly persistent and obstinate refusal to adapt to the prevailing voter paradigm." : )
