every time i see one of these threads im trying to figure it out based on objective criteria but it's always about someone's opinion and that's boring

so this one is based on a totally objective mystery criteria

SandwichofSalem 19.133333333333333
SirAmelio 20.22222222222222

How did you figure out it was a 0-Z code?? Is this a popular code or was it just one you happened to try?


base 36 is fairly common, it follows the same format as hexidecimal (base16, 0-F)

desta says

is it ranked according to the average number of their usernames, after translating the usernames to numbers? (0 being the lowest, z being the highest)


How did you figure out it was a 0-Z code?? Is this a popular code or was it just one you happened to try?


at first i just used the a-1 b-2 etc and just defined numbers as their actual number (so a 1 was the same value as "a"), but that way sl0nderman and xfire1994 didnt work out and 0-Z seemed the way to go

gj. I was trying to figure out what you did but I believe the word you looking for is quotient, not average. Its the sum of the coded letters divided by the number of letters in the username = quotient.
