So this is how this works: You guys all Personal Message me numbers from 1 to 10, and the number is divided by the amount of people to give the score.

For example:

Person A: 10
Person B: 9
Person C: 10
Person D: 6

Then Person A and Person C each get 10/2 = 5 points, and Person B gets 9 points, and Person D gets 6 points.

Whoever gets to 50 points first wins.

If this works, Round 1 ends on 7/20.

Nice, though I'm a bit confused. There are four people in the example, so why did you divide by two?

[rrrrr]

Because two people wrote ten.



You're trying to get the highest score possible, but then if 5 people write 10 and one person writes 9, then the people who wrote 10 each get 2 (10/5 = 2), and the one person gets 9 because he is the only one that wrote 9.

Oh, okay. I see.

That's pretty neat. So you want the highest score each round, correct?

[rrrrr]

Yes.

I got this from here.

Right now at least, I'm a fail at this

Woah, I didn't know you get more points the higher the number you choose is. Okay.

[rrrrr]

You get the number of points you sent divided by the number of people that sent that number.
