Pretty cool, zombie mode morning with addition only and number limit of 30: "You scored 504. You are better than 100 %"

I am sure this will be easily beat by all the caffeinated people pretty soon.

Updated: this is actually easier with all the other options enabled because you get easy things like sqrt([4, 16, 25]), x * [0,1], and x / [1, 2] a lot. I was actually over 30 seconds on timer when I hit 18^2 question. "You scored 576. You are better than 100 %"

Updated 2: I tried raising number limit to max (1000) and suddenly life on hard mode. I got through 272/16 and 930/31, but third question 127 * 49 killed me. "You scored 64. You are better than 27 %"



333 was also better than 100% for the same settings...

No real ranking data is being used in this calculation


What I meant to way was that you're not being ranked amongst your peers. Saying that you're "better than 100%" or any other percentage is just a result of the assumption that a really good score is 200.


if (sliderMax > 100) { sliderMax = 100; } score = Math.ceil(numAnswersCorrect * (sliderMax / 10 + numOperatorsEnabled))

Score multiplier and number of operators selected directly influence the score. So setting slider to 10 and enabling all operators gives 7 points per question and increasing slider to a 100 raises that to 16 points per question.
