OKAY! Time to announce the winner of the egg guessing contest, yay! To decide the winner, I took the score from the first part (the number guessing) and the score from the second part (the specific color of each egg guessing) and averaged them.
EXAMPLE (not done with the real hatchling outcomes in mind, just completely random as an example if you’re curious as to how the scoring went down):
Bronzes: 1 -1 (they were one away, either one over, or one under, from what the actual number of Bronzes is)
Blacks: 2 -1
Browns: 3 -1
Burgundies: 4 -2 (they were two away, either two over, or two under, from what the actual number of Burgundies is)
Blues: 5 -2
Greens: 6 -2
Whites: 0* (I noted with an asterisk that they were spot on and no point needed to be deducted)
Duds: 1*
(then I subtracted those minus points from the total number of eggs, in this example, 22, and gave a percentage for the hell of it)
13/22 – 59%
Egg1: Bronze
Egg2: Black*
Egg3: Blue
Egg4: Green*
Etc.
(Again, an asterisk notes a correct guess, and at the end I simply added up all the ones marked with an asterisk, just putting a random number here)
10/22 – 45%
(Then both scores are added and a final percentage given for your actual score, wee!)
Total Score: 23/44 – 52%
On to the winner! And for those that are curious, everyone else’s total scores will follow.
Chris wins, with a total score of 65% You can go ahead and give one of your characters a Gemtail of your choice (other than Diamond) or wait and give it to another character you plan on making.
Everyone else that guessed scored as follows:
Missing: 60%
Alyx: 60%
Brete: 45%
Wyren: 38%
Kyra: 28%
I hope everyone had fun with the guessing and another guessing contest might be coming up soon enough if you didn’t win this time around!
