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.

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

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

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

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

Yep, definitely looks that way -- there's a username of:

  <script>window.location.href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ'</script>
With a high score that will clearly top any legitimate score from a player:

  1.7976931348623157e+308

Wow, and I thought the author was just a prankser. I suppose this is the cost of posting to HN.

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.

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.
