Howdy, folks! Once again, I bring you some fun stats from Daily Challenge !

The Elite

As usual, we’re starting off with the folks who answered every single question, and did so correctly. An job done extremely well by @janice777 and @simonsheard4498 this time!

Top 25 103 Leaderboard

I grabbed the top 100 (or 103 accounting for the 100th-place tie) instead of 25 today :slight_smile:

I notice a lot of names starting with J on there… Maybe it’s a coincidence, or maybe we’re just naturally more trivia-inclined? Something to think about :joy:

Fun Stuff

Everyone

First up, let’s see how this month compared to previous months.

We had 70 fewer unique participants than September, leaving us with 2008 unique participants. We also had a slightly lower percentage correct at just under 65%, though we had a few more curveballs last month and in October.

We also had a much higher number of folks get none of their questions correct at 551, with 59 of those folks having answered more than one question.

Five+ Club (Folks with at least 5 questions answered)

This group was just slightly smaller at 629 this time, compared to 644 in October. We also saw a slightly lower average percent correct in this group than usual.

I was going to poke around to see if it’s because y’all went searching for more BaCoN answers than last month, but I’ve run out of time for today!

A Peek Behind the Curtain

It should be easier for me to grab stats like the above now, as one of our behind-the-scenes data teams has granted me access to run my own reports on Daily Challenge data! :slight_smile:

The downside is that I don’t have access to some of the extra fun stuff that @Lois-Spiceworks was graciously providing me with before, such as the country and account creation dates for our participants. Unfortunately, this means we’ll never know what happened to the folks from “(blank)” or why they didn’t take questions in October. :joy:

If you’re interested in your personal stats, or have an idea for other fun things I could try to look at with the data, please let me know!

A Quick Request Before You Go

You may have noticed that we’ve featured quite a few questions from @jameswalker20 lately, and we would love to feature more of you. If you’ve got a question, or even an idea for one, please send it my way!

And a huge THANK YOU! to everyone who has submitted questions. It really makes my day easier when I don’t need to think of a new one! :slight_smile:

… or it could be an example of the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon that you are experiencing … a cognitive bias towards noticing, in this case, J names .. like your own.

I think you might’ve made an “Oops!” in the Five+ Club stats. :scream:

I think I dropped at least a couple of hints for future questions amongst my comments. I need to try and find/make some time to more formally make some suggestions.
