Gratz to the winners, and let the processing of data now begin

 

[Zetanian]

Nice work acronoid. Im very curious for the results

And congratulations to Olo and Coop

 

[Coop_]

Winner most attempts (yes I didn't tell anyone that the one that contributed the most got a price too, but that was not to get any fake results)
Coop

That's great, thanks!

I was going to suggest weighting the odds on total data provided, as an incentive to get more data, but didn't because of the same reason--possibility of fake results.

Thanks again for running this experiment, it has helped me gather data useful to my own sweating, and I will eagerly await the results of your number crunching (which I highly suspect will confirm the null hypothesis)

 

[Outman]

Grats to both of you.

 

[olos]

science has rewarded me

Little surprised though: with most experiments IRL science, every participant gets a low reward for joining

So Acronoid, if you've got idea's

What is the hypothesis? And can I still give you data later if it is needed?

 

[Hotei]

Congrats to you all. Very excited to see the results!

 

[Alice]

grats for both, and especially Coop
well done

 

[Peron]

congratulations all the winners!

 

[actam]

Gratz to both winners.
And do not forget to +rep Acronoid!

Yes, I will make a new thread (one without a price) where participants can add their new data.

I will also post the results into a ";" dilimitered form (easy to add to a database) so that anyone who loves working with data and want to do science can.

 

[Billposter]

aw i didnt win anything all prices went to 2 ppl xD

oh well grats, and im looking forward to the results, nice work +rep

By the way a price is what you pay for goods you buy and a prize can be won in a competition

I would recomend re-running this competition and would donate some prizes

From reading the posts it seems like a 20% success rate for solo sweating in non HIGH TRAFFIC areas seems to be the normal success rate. It has been my opinion that when more than one person attempts to sweat a mob only one can succeed. So that twould explain to lower succes rates at PA. I.E.- Many mobs may have been encountered after someone else tried to sweat them.

I would suggestt that the succes rate seems to be the same for all skill levels so lets look at data like attempts before being attacked.. number of bottles per succes.. and I recomend doing the data gathering in isolated areas. I hve to belileve sweat gathering skills and concentration have somethingt odo with improving theodds.. maybe it is just not int he success rate catagory.? Ideas?

 

[rotten ice]

You could be right the amount of people sweating could very well affect the chances of getting sweat, when I was sweating bigger animals I could go ages with out something then all of a sudden 6 in a row, now noone else was around, but if they had it would have made sense for maybe one of those success pulls been made by someone else,

Maybe it like mining SG affects the avg bottles?, so a noob may get 5 bottles where you with a much higher SG gets 10??

Of course only an assumption but I like it nice so you get a +rep from me today
