Top-rated Problems
I was looking in the top-rated problems recently and noticed something about how they're arranged (aside from the obious fact they're in order of rating) All the problems that got 5 were in the top but it seems like after that there is no special order (unless it is chronological and I missed it) But anyways the #1 problem is changing chameleons. It has recieved 2 votes and has 5. After that the #2 problem is yum, arsenic and it has recieved 10 votes and also has a 5. Shouldn't yum, arsenic be higher then? Since it has been exposed to a larger audience? Like if you think about it what if the 10 people who voted on yum, arsenic voted on changing chameleons? There is most probably a chance it's score will go down. So basically what i'm trying to suggest is that the top-rated problems should be arranged by score then ties would be settled by number of votes. |

This makes sense, yes. What do you think, levik? |

Re: Top-rated Problems
Another thing to consider is that perhaps it would be a good thing to drive users toward less exposed problems? If quality is really the issue, then additional votes could drive the problem down in the rankings fairly quickly. |

Re: Top-rated Problems
yo friedlinguini the driving down the ranks in the problems isn't a bad thing. Its what we want. That is the purpose of showing the top rated the problems so if problems are voted on more and ranks are altered more accurately this is good thing. But for friedlinguini's point about certain problems having least exposure... why not make a "least voted on" problem page. |

Re: Top-rated Problems
It's a good suggestion. I've been meaning to do this for quite a while now, but since nobody noticed up til now, never took the time. It should now display problems with more ratings higher than ones with less if they have the same score. |
