Nothing is marked until all five are in. It is the size that counts, not the digits.
Today’s board
How far out, best firstNobody with an account has finished this one today. Make one and your name goes up here. Guests still count towards the standings, they just have no name to show.
Ballpark
Get all five answers as close to the right size as you can.
- Type a number into each of the five boxes.Any units are given with the question, so you never have to guess whether it wants metres or miles.
- Guess even when you have no idea.You are scored on order of magnitude, so being out by a factor of two is a good answer and a wild stab still scores. There is no point leaving one blank: a blank scores the worst possible.
- Submit all five together, then read the ledger.It tells you the true figure, how far out you were, and one thing worth knowing about each.
Scored on how far out.
What the words mean
- Order of magnitude:
- how many times bigger or smaller. One order of magnitude means ten times out
- Ballpark:
- roughly right. Close enough to be useful, not close enough to be exact
