shady puzzle 2

over 5 years

Hi friends, thanks to popular demand (one comment from Blister) I have made a second puzzle thread. It is a word game. The first one was here if you need to kickstart your noggin. https://epicmafia.com/topic/91137

You must guess a word. Each word you guess I will return to you a number. Whoever guesses the methodology behind assigning numbers to words first wins and gets a sticker. Good luck.

This is what people in academia call "Have you tried mathing the Beach?"

This is generally what's expected of you.

Step 1. determine the relationship between the person and the number

Answer: Comp round participation somehow

Step 2. determine the relationship between the person and their participation.

Step 2a. Is there a relationship between the scores people have and the number received.

Yes, it's a general positive relationship, however independent variable isn't related to scoring (This part is the math) but the dependent variable is.

Step 3. What are the possible factors that the independent variable could be.

Note:

Discovering the positive relationship between scores and numbers let me know I was in the right general area, after that I just had to balance the equation in order to get the right answer.

For example, while doing scoring, I kept getting x.89 and numbers close to but not equal to whole numbers, letting me know the solution required some type of rounding, which lead me to division.

Looking at the time signatures, it was close to 30-35 minutes to solve.

I think I cracked it. Everyone can check your name against it.

If Ravennn posted in this thread, her number should be 298.

So far I've checked 3 additional names along with the 3 I provided, and the numbers are coming back.

MisterPresident: 1604/15 =106.93 or 107

Blister: 857/7 or 122.42 or 122

ect ect...

I believe I'm correct, I can post the results

Boxness's 766 round score is 62, divided by 7 letters of their name is 8.857 or 9

Char's 766 round score is 491, divided by 4 letter of their name is 122.75 or 123

Melancholy's score is 2026, divided by ten 202.6, or 203.

I believe I have the correct answer.

Without knowing the independent rules here, I'm going with 38 or 152. Seem like two solid numbers.
