Jake Gittes Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I don't think it's that hard to get at least 7k points here, which is more than you get for abstaining. Because we're dealing with percentages, the bigger the gross of the previous film, the better your chances. Take TF4. Let's say you predict it to finish with 85% of TF3 which would put the gross at 299.5m. This means you get 7k as long as the movie makes between 75% and 95% of TF3, aka between 264.3m and 334.7m. You really think you can't predict a 70 million range for TF4? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think you can't predict a 70 million range for TF4? Is it within 75% and 95% or is it if we predict 85% i.e. 299.5M, then it is 10% of our prediction i.e. 269.5 and 329.5 or is it as Jake mentioned, 10% normally i.e. 264.3 to 334.7? If I think 22JS will do 170M (for example), i.e. 122.3%, is my error range from 112.3% to 132.3% i.e. 155.6M to 183.4M, or is it 10% of my prediction i.e, from 110% to 135% which would be 152M to 188M? How are we interpreting the question, since it seems like there are 2 different ways to. And with the numbers we are working with that is easily a 5M swing both ways.

chasmmi Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 It's all about percentages. SO if you predict Film A will make 100% of what it's previous version made, then a 10% margin for error means the film making anything from 90% to 110% of its previous installment scores you points. Grosses mean nothing, its all about the percentages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are we interpreting the question, since it seems like there are 2 different ways to. And with the numbers we are working with that is easily a 5M swing both ways. the question is NOT open to interpretation: Predict what each film will make as a percentage of its previous installment It's pretty obvious that all percentages are based on the previous installment.

Dementeleus Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 So if I say 125%, then it is between 115-135% and not between 112.5-137.5%. Just wanted to confirm that. My understanding of it (using your 125% example): 115-135% = 7,000 points 112.5-137.5% = 5,000 points 105-145% = 0 points less than 105, greater than 145 = -10,000 points 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
