SOTM 6 - Building a pyramid of predictions.

[chasmmi]

We all know pyramids, they are great for storing dead Egyptian people inside. 

They are also famous for being bigger on the bottom and smaller at the top. Kind of like a triangle. 

 

So that is what we are going to build. Our own pyramids. I am going to list a whole bunch of different unknown (or known) values. You just have to build a pyramid as tall or as short as you dare. (So basically you list the predictions with the highest value at the bottom and lowest at the top. 

 

Here are the values:

 

12 Days of Deadpool Total box office

Aquaman OW total 

Into the Spiderverse domestic total

Mary Poppins UK total in dollars

 

The Grinch's December total

Glass's domestic total after 7 days

Escape Room's WW total

Bumblebee's China total

 

$100M - Arctic Dogs' domestic total 

Mary Poppins combined total but just for domestic Saturday and Sunday grosses, no weekdays. 

How to Train Your Dragon's OW doubled. 

$80M 

 

So your pyramid can be anything from 1 prediction to 12 predictions high. And here is the scoring. 

 

For every successful step of the pyramid (as in the value above is smaller than the one below), score 6,000 points. 

If the pyramid is perfect and at least 4 steps high, double the score. 

If there is an incorrect step. Lose 5,000 points from the score and then resume the pyramid, but now correct steps score 4,000 points. 

If there is another incorrect step. Lose 10,000 points from the score and then resume the pyramid, but correct steps score 2,000 points. 

If there is another incorrect step. Lose 15,000 points from the score and then resume the pyramid, but correct steps score 1000 points.

If there is another incorrect step. Lose 20,000 points from the score and also lose an additional 5000 points for every remaining step. 

 

There is no abstaining as you can just put one random thing down and score 6,000 points. 

 

Deadline is the weekly deadline. 

[chasmmi]

I am quite ill, so in case that scoring is not clear here are some examples:

 

Player A predicts 5 things and those result in values as follows:

 

20M

40M 

60m
80M

100M

 

He scores 6,000 x 5 x 2 (perfect bonus) = 60,000 points

 

 

Player B predicts 6 things and those result in values as follows:

 

20M

40M 

60M

30M
80M

100M

 

She scores 6,000 x 3 - 5000 +  4000 x 2 = 21,000 points

 

 

Player C predicts 12 things and those result in values as follows:

 

10M

20M

30M

70M

50M 

55M

 

60M
80M

100M

85M

90M

100M

 

They score 6,000 x 3 - 5000 +  4000 x 4 - 10000 + 2000 x 3 = 25,000 points

Okay, as I have realised clarity is not the best with this. Can you specify which prediction is supposed to be the highest one. 

 

I am assuming it is number 1 is biggest and 6 or 9 or whatever is the smallest. 

 

is that right for @WrathOfHan and @Mike Hunt

I went from lowest to highest. Should it be the other way around?

If you clarify which is highest and which is lowest, then it does not matter too much.

 

For scoring purposes, it will start at the highest value and move up to the lowest.

Smallest down to biggest. I mean, if its a pyramid, the biggest part goes on the bottom, right?

That was the intention, but then folks started numbering stuff too and that's when disease ridden delirious old me wanders whether the numbers are meant to mean anything and I get all confuzzled.
