thanks for your comments to the scoring system it was if you can see for the first rounds the first person who gets the correct answer received a times infinity bonus because all others are given points my work with the current scoring system is to encourage people to keep answering after somebody has got correct and as the same time keep the privilege of the first correct getter as you can see owing to this new scoring system the amount of answer scripts have risen dramatically i wonder if the extra point system will bring any negative effect to the future competitions it is because each question carries different amount of points and the first answer will lose his or her advantage instead i suggest that a multiplier is to be kept instead of replacing it with an addition also to encourage more replies i've also given bonus multipliers to the second and third persons who get the correct answer so what i think after hearing your opinion is to keep the multiplying system but the multiplier may be reduced from to something like something greater than but not greater than hope to see your feedback at my talk page click the capital letter c in my signature will do
