Oh, I'm apparently not trying my best, so I thought I'd fall short of the mark again

Well I know I've got 23 entries, cos I'd said I was aiming for the 25 badge last year. And the Shellsuit will make 24, gratifyingly. Hadn't realised I'd done just so well in this week's scores!

I'm the 13, which is bloody worrying reading. Although saying that, it's because I've probably had the most disparate results this week. Anyone else on a +/-5 spread?

I'm the 56.
I think we need some measure of variance to go with the means - SD and 95%CI, perhaps. And some p-values.
Step to it, Alex

nothing wrong with being bottom, just means you cant do any worse 
well at least that is how i am looking at it, just hope i can shoofty myself a bit further up the rankings before they chuck anyone out, as at the moment it looks like i will be first to go.

You kidding? If you keep improving at this rate, you'll get three tens next week! And as a Post Poet, surely this one's paying to your strengths?

poet? erm those are just silly wee things i write for 
and even if they are any good then that will work to my disadvantage as i have to do something really good this week in order to stretch myself.
mind you i am a bit of an anomaly in the whole thing. No solo EGE's and nothing published in the underguide either. Just some collaborative things and my poems for but we shall see.

If they were 'silly wee things', mini, we wouldn't publish them
And you're not bottom - you're 12th out of the 14 who started out. In this company, that's quite an achievement!

I've avoided putting names next to the stats as that wasn't what I meant it to be about. 
Key: Complain about this post
