#Normalized Score

[testcoachbyschand]

The CUET percentile is a representation of a student’s performance in comparison to other test-takers. It indicates the percentage of candidates who scored lower than the student in the examination.

despite pages of poems and the entire book i wrote you - you only ever wrote me two songs. the first has the lyric coming up on 7.13, the date we first started really flirting. it's been three years from then, and my life has been utterly ruined. we haven't spoken in a month. i oscillate between being a wreck and being wildly, manically happy. i go long periods without thinking of you - and then i keep myself up, tortured by memories.

i think it's important to note we had been friends for years first. that i had learned to trust you, to think better of you. that you knew who i was - and you still fucking broke me. you knew all the ways i had worked to be okay with myself. all my independence, my hobbies. you could have left me alone, is the thing. you could have let me just keep fucking living.

i keep writing paragraphs on paragraphs about what you did, what you said - who you were. how it escalated so slowly. how i am still scared to admit the truth of things, fearing your response. you taught me that fear. it's only been a month, but still - already, how strange to think of who i was while i was with you. that was a husk-girl, cowering, servile. i can't believe let you in my fucking house.

three weeks before you discarded me; you took me ring shopping. you would tell me so many times i was the love of your life, someone that you "couldn't live without."

the last thing you sent me was that second song - a new one, finally. it's about how i'll never get what i want. about how miserable the idea of a life with me is.

my mother was furious. i had to call her - i was sobbing on the floor of my bathroom about it. She knows it kills me that i can't have kids, i said, breathless, silver and shaking with anguish, Why would she make a fucking song about how sad that is.

you know her, and you know how gentle and forgiving she is. how rare her anger is. her response was slow, deliberate. sweetheart, she said, she can write any song she wants. i know my girl. you are going to write a book instead.

i hiccupped a laugh, but she was still talking. she dropped her voice low, almost scraping through the phone and onto the floor with me. it was a strange tone, almost like feeling a storm coming when there's nowhere safe to be.

i want you to rip her apart, she said. do you think you can you do that for me?

my ideal character design for Stephanie Brown is when she looks like a girl I'd meet in passing at a thrift store only to grow desperately and hopelessly obsessed with my brief impression of her

Everyone's talking about Gabe pushing Natalie off her own melody, but I absolutely go feral over Dan singing his yeah-yeahs early and off the beat in I am the One to get in before Gabe, who is singing his on the beat

The Northeast regularly (ish) drug New York when he’s really sleep deprived, he’s gotten better at hiding it over the years but his main tells for when he needs to sleep is when he avoids them (more than usual) by running out the nearest exit when they’re all together and when he can’t escape his autistic ass keeps trying to act “normal” which freaks them out. So they have to hunt him down to get him to sleep.

I just had a vision a very important vision

Lestat needs to have a rock ish version of come to me in season 3 (duh)

But not only that. It needs to be marceline style. I’m just your problem style. Evolving and changing slightly with the relationship and the anger level type shit

Please I’m a prophet trust

Self insert shenanigans once more. I don’t know how to play chess and I’m a sour loser.

discussing Taskmaster series 19 spoilers under the cut, with data i gather from a spreadsheet i keep of the scores

So the 9th episode just aired, and since episode 5 aired i've been building a comprehensive spreadsheet of every taskmaster score from every task in every series. At that point i'd been rooting for Mat since day one already and that was his second disqualification from a task, and i wanted to prove to myself that he was still statistically likely to win.

ive never done statistics my whole life so idk what i'm doing but i love using spreadsheets and i know how to turn those into graphs, so i started collecting the data from every series, hoping to dig out some patterns, which i did.

as soon as i was done compiling everyone's data i saw similarities with the score patterns of Noel Fielding (s4), Liza Tarbuck (s6), Lou Sanders (s8) and Dara Ó Briain (s14)

(what the s19 graph looked like, 5 episodes in)

they all got some pretty close calls, but stayed in first place pretty much their entire series, with Noel being the only one to dip below first place past episode 1 (by cheating and disqualifying his whole team, smh)

now that's pretty much what i was hoping, in the best case, for Mat's scores to look like. Rosie was setting herself up to be catching up to him in a pretty consistent way, so at that point i was clinging to the knowledge that everyone who had a strong early lead similar to Mat's ended up winning their respective series.

obviously now i have stats up to the end of the penultimate episode, and after seeing them i just wanted to do a little experiment. what if i filled the section for episode 10 with the score from episode 4 (Rosie Ramsey's best scoring episode in the series, and also one that was below Mat's average score)

alright so he would still win, but what if they're keeping a pretty bad episode for him at the end, like a plot twist? let's imagine he got disqualified in his most successful task, and dock him 5 points

riiiiight i mean let's say he failed his second best one as well then

sure let's push it, three disqualifications then, giving him an episode score of 3

it's getting harder to notice but he would still be in first place if next week he gets a total score of three and Rosie gets her own best score a second time.

this is a very long and pointless post that truly shines a light on how UNWELL i am about taskmaster at the moment, but the fact i have to push the scores cartoonishly far for Mat's score to be threatened is all the vindication i needed. i spent hours making a spreadsheet to prove to myself that Mathew Baynton would win, and i think i've proven it.

is this whole post just another proof to myself? probably. some sort of digital footprint of "YES!! I CALLED IT" about the show i've been obsessed with since early spring? absolutely. but also it's really fun and i know i'll keep on filling it when s20 comes.

and yknow what? if by some miracle Mat DOESN'T win and face plants at the very end, i'll be just as impressed because that would be a feat in itself.
