Re: Amir Karger and Chris Dolan are locked in a gripping duel

[Chris Dolan]

Well, I'd place money on Amir to win if I were you. I've spent an absurd number of evening hours trying to improve that score already, to little avail. I have 33 working solutions that I've saved (only the best of those inflicted on the refs) with a mean score of 77.61 and a std dev of 8.69. Not that the distribution is Gaussian, but my best is 1.6 std devs below the mean, which is resonable for N=33. If I want to beat Rick, I'd likely need about 60 more solutions to hit that 3-sigma regime.

P.S. mine is 63.526

I am amused in the extreme by this:

Mr Referees, can we have a more accurate tie-breaker please?
Or are they really tied?

Actually, I shouldn't be smirking because they will both soon
go sailing gaily past me on the Career Money Leaders Board:
14. Andrew Savige                           $   652,400.00 (8/12)
15. Chris Dolan                             $   631,400.00 (8/12)
16. Amir Karger                             $   591,466.66 (9/12)

Also, I can't help but notice that the scores seem more bunched
up than usual this month.
