A couple of weeks ago, someone asked me to post
the statistics I had on the difficulty of packets
submitted to Penn Bowl 10.
I've finally had the
chance to open up the file that I kept those numbers in.
Basically, these numbers represent an approximation of the
number of points I would be able to score per 20 TUs on
a given packet, playing alone against a null
team.
In general, they were about 100 points higher than
the actual numbers obtained.
Mean per 20 TUs,
all packets: 413
Median: 417

deviation: 75

>2 SD above mean)

Obviously, I'll have
more to say at some point after I've received the
remaining packets for PB11.
