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.

So the real story seems to be the fact that after entering innumerable ABC contests...(and winning some, no less)...I've finally decided to read the rules. :)

Second up: Big congrats to Rick and his Prom Assistants, who would invariably stop the kind of behaviour going on in arwen's parody.
Third up: Thank you thank you thank you thank you to everyone who voted for this: I'm regretting that I didn't enter it in SOTM, but I'm glad y'all enjoyed it here. Cheers!
