Jeff...have you always slipped Algebra into the rules of these contests?  Because my HELL...you made me sit and think about that for a minute...and I think we both know how I feel about things that make me think...

yes, I've always been confused by that, because I thought the formula would've been p=6-r where p=points and r=rank

eg. the parody ranked 4th = 2 points (ie. 2=6-4)

No you're thinking of simultaneous quadratic equations - an easy mistake - linear equations produces a sob (singular) at worst (and then only from a wussy broad)

I'm pretty sure that formula has been in every contest I've run...and I'm also pretty sure I copied it from Luke.
