I got a 92! Pretty neat to look at.

It might also be interesting to see actual correlations between things. Seeing that a particular graph is 0.75 correlated is interesting, sure, but it might be more revealing that a particular graph is as correlated as, say, proportion of citizens in a country with college degrees and Nobel Prizes.

Did someone XSS the scoreboard? Going there takes me to YouTube, to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

I tried to share this on facebook and it didn't let me beacause it thinks it is spam! I guess the URL is the victim of false positives in a hashing algorithm. Better than the alternative I suppose.

This was fun, I actually got really good after a while (187 with no end in sight).

I seem to either get within either 0.01 or else more than 0.15, no in between. I wish it showed me more information about which ones I miss most.

To me it felt like the R numbers was all over the place.

I got 102 with a mean error of .1 :)

interesting graphics, +1 to the author, do you use a specific library?
