How many 1 points can you get in a week? I've now had 6 over the last 7 days!!!

Answer: Seven 1's :)

Assuming not an exaggeration ie. 98 - 1*6 - 1*10 gives a min score of 82 from 12 days So, how many 10 and/or 9's did you get in the first 12 days?

Overall you're currently still better off then @toxicgherkin :)

If it's you're birthday month you might still have a chance. Would need roughly 170ish (+5 above the monthly average). Don't give up just yet @FARMERTYSON :)

Good luck and Happy Birthday to all April birthday members. @FARMERTYSON, and @rianlana I think. Might be one or two more. :)

@Lemond only 2 days of 10 I think and no exaggeration.
Not my birthday month unfortunately

@Winner1 I don't think the points system is working properly either.

@SunnyLife Any hints why you say that?

@Winner1 A better question is what would be the odds for a similar scenario?
You can use combination probability have fun. I'm preoccupied :)

Eg Assuming 100 active members what be the odds within a year for a similar scenario occurring. i.e. For any given number occurring 6 times within 7 days. End up with 90 possible combinations out of a total (10^7).

For a year hmm 358 seven day periods and 100 members
35800*70= 2506000

2506000/10000000 = 0.25 i.e. 25% chance occurring in a year or on average once in approximately every 4 years

Be a rough starting point would need to check if used the correct methodology.

Taking one members run of numbers for a week may hint at an issue it's stretching it. You need to look a larger sample of random scores. I wouldn't expect your scenario to reoccur for a while. It's not impossible.

Eg
The odds of two consecutive days being the same number 10/100 , 3 days 10/1000 etc. So good chances at least one member out of 100 may get repeating numbers for the next 3 days.

It's not to say there may be an issue, by just using a sample of a couple of members scores over one week doesn't demonstrate much apart from that combination is a possibility. One out of a possible 10 million combinations for each member in a week.
