Re: February 2024 Quiz is open
Apologies for the error. I must have been asleep at the wheel and omitted the results of three people who played between Feb 1-5. One person didn't attempt the quiz, the other two were Astrobee who scored 50% and GFamily 60%.
I have to track results manually. The forum gives me a full copy of the completed quiz of each person. So if 30 people play, and each result is a 2 screen scroll, I have to scroll down the equivalent of about 60 screens. As a result, I try to collect the results as they come in so that I don't have a big job at the end of the month.
If people go into the quiz page but don't answer any questions, I still see their entry. I don't count their zero score in the average. Each members first attempt is the only one that counts. So if someone launches the quiz, times out with a zero score, then comes back a second time, they get a score but they are not included in the friendly competitive scores that I accumulate and plot.
____________________________________________________________________________
Congratulations to Steve Bodin. Steve won the February quiz with a score of 80% or 8/10.
Second place was a five way tie on 60%, KathyNS, Bigzmey, Pixelsaurus, GFamily and BobHarmony.
The mean or par score was 48%
