Update, Part Deux

Well, I compiled the data from 2004 to 2008. Man, this is some kinda juggernaut here.

So far:

--606 quizlings (including the mods) have gotten a + and/or -
--The +1s have covered a range of 577 topics, with a total of 1,033 +1s
--The -1s have covered a range of 167 topics, with a total of 301 -1s
--Miscellaneous topics that cover other bonuses/penalties: 83

Geek of the Week Awards given so far: 85
People caught webcheating: 16

Top 5 plus-scores (without minuses):
1. astridsdream: 52
2. Why...it's me! : 27
3. sskipstress: 21
4. fizrep: 16
5. (tie) marasca and thepikey: 14

Highest plus-score so far without earning a single - : cmzero with 10

Most popular +1 topics through 2008:
1) The Simpsons--37 +1s
2) Monty Python and the Holy Grail--33
3) Monty Python's Flying Circus--25
4) The Princess Bride--19
5) South Park--15
6) Punning--14
7) The Tick--11
8) Airplane--10
8) Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy--10
10) Spaceballs--9

(FWIW, Sting has moved up into a tie for 24th place)

As this is becoming a nice healthy obsession, I will probably be finished by the end of Friday, if not Saturday.

Btw, I had to fudge on a couple of numbers here and there, due to lack of clarity, but my calql8ions are fairly solid.

I also did not total all the traditional awards like the Gibberish Award, TMI Award, Logic Renunciation Award, et al. I prolly will after this task is ended, if I feel like it.

Finally, let me say that, if you can imagine how much work to compile the data from all these quizzes, imagine how many hours that the mods have taken to write each quiz, and slog through all our answers.

Therefore, chaosvizier, angledge, and special guest/longterm mod lovellama deserve much love, gratitude and applause for giving us what I think is an incredibly entertaining distraction week after week.

The funny thing is, we didn't really start the whole "Sting" obsession. We had two weeks in a row where Sting was coincidentally involved in a question, and someone noticed that and pointed out that we had some kind of Sting fixation, and then everyone glomped onto that idea, and Sting became our celebrity of choice. Thoroughly unintentional on our parts.

I can imagine how much work it is to compile quiz data; I probably would have taken ten times as long to do this, because I'd get distracted reading the quizzes over again. Sometimes I forget the old ones, and I can laugh again at the funny from days of yore.

This is awesome, and thanks for taking a bunch of time out to run stats on something so (dare I say) trivial. As soon as you finish and post your final tabulations, I'll be linking your post on the quiz's front page.

Truly, you deserve to Rock On.
