333 was also better than 100% for the same settings...

No real ranking data is being used in this calculation


What I meant to way was that you're not being ranked amongst your peers. Saying that you're "better than 100%" or any other percentage is just a result of the assumption that a really good score is 200.


if (sliderMax > 100) { sliderMax = 100; } score = Math.ceil(numAnswersCorrect * (sliderMax / 10 + numOperatorsEnabled))

Score multiplier and number of operators selected directly influence the score. So setting slider to 10 and enabling all operators gives 7 points per question and increasing slider to a 100 raises that to 16 points per question.
