    Maxwell count is wrong on MMs page - could be an issue with > versus >=

    I think there is small issue with the count of Maxwells, though if I am right it might be worth checking if it applies to MiRBs and TeraMiRBs too
    I have a spreadsheet into which I post the daily stats from Free-DC for which I am very grateful thank you very much.
    The issue is with the mms page. In my case it states that I have 14 Maxwells, but my spreadsheet highlights those MMs where the count exceeds the number required for a Maxwell in the Free-DC data, and it is showing 15 which if I manually check appears to be correct.
    I have taken into account that you can't get a Maxwell for Maxwells (and similarly a MiRB for MiRBs and also for TeraMiRBs)
    My suspicion lies with my SubTrigggl value which is exactly what is required to get a Maxwell. All the others Maxwells that I have, have more than is needed. I don't know how long this has been there but my SubTriggl count has been changing of late.
    Apologies if I am being stupid, but I have checked my spreadsheet and created a new worksheet to double check, and at the end of the day the data on the mms page clearly demonstrates the problem. I think there is a > where there needs to be a >=, and it may well apply to MiRBs etc.
    Cheers
    Mark

    Edit - Or could this be a rounding thing? With my number clearly being an integer - 5, but the number required that it is comparing it with is actually 5.2 but showing as 5?

    My impression was that this table stopped being updated when the green ticks appeared and the Mawell count was removed from a user's home page stats.

    I am talking about the excellent and newer MMs (Test) page which lists the numbers all together (Projects and Subproject MMs) as well as the number required of each to gain a Maxwell, MiRB or TeraMiRB.
    Both are being updated however and both currently show the same problem which I suspect most people will not see.

    I could be wrong but I think the new page is pulling the total from the same place that the single Maxwell page is getting it from.
    I have 32 ticks but only 30 on both pages, it has been wrong for quite some time, my recollection is it went wrong when the Maxwell listing was removed from the user's home page.

    I'm having to go back and try to remember how these work.

    Isn't it to get a maxwell you have to have >= highest score / 2 ?

    So let's take the Subtriggls, the highest score is 11 and you have 5.

    The issue may be that on your mm page it shows that 5 is needed for a maxwell but that's incorrect. I'll add a decimal place to that. Take a look in stats6 now ?

    Yes that appears to be it. Rather than include an unnecessary decimal point though (given that you can't actually get 5.5) it would be better and more accurate to just add a half them all or round them up rather than down whichever is easier. After all you would need 6 in the subtrigggls example. It would also save me some hassle in my spreadsheets though that is beside the point. Whatever you think works best Bok. Cheers

    You told me last year...

    My current algorithm is that you get it when score is >= floor(max/2).

    so if you have 5 and the max is 11. Is 5 >= 11/2 === is 5 >=5
