I’ve elaborated a scoring system for the challenges on this forum. I’ve used it in the “Chauffeur Service” but it is extremly flexible and adaptable to every situation.
Let’s start the explanition with the name: Why Proportional Mean? Because it’s made of proportionality and mean, and i need a name that sounds cool and was not used anywhere else.
[hide=For who knows enough math]
n= number of parameters evaluated
k= weight of the parameter (bigger the number, more important are the parameter in your score)
c= points (e.g drivability)
m= mean of the parameter (e.g mean drivability of all the entrants)
p= i can’t explain this, i’ve usually use 1, but changing this numer is a possibility (i let you figure out how it works for homework)
If less is better (like 0-100 time) you can multyply (c-m) by -1[/hide]
For a much easier explanation of this, i kindly ask someone to try explain, my english is not so good, i’will link here the post (if there will be one)
For who want to use it without understand it, look at this link:
I hope this can help someone to make better challenge saving time
EDIT: i didn’t clarified why this method is faster; you don’t need to think how to sum point (e.g. a car that have 60 drivability and 8 economy and another 50driv and 7eco, which is better?) with this method you just need to establish wich stats is more important (they also can be the same with all the k equal). If in your challenge drivability is twice as important than economy, just set the relative k’s 2 and 1.
