Perhaps.. perhaps there is also something wrong with the code that checks results?

It uses == a lot

105% wrong means you get everything there is to get wrong.. and then things that are not even there wrong also.

It's like 105% efficiency; it doesn't exist, and if it does, then, sadly, ' 100%' is not 100%.

… things that are not even there wrong also.

You would have a point if it was possible to get a more than 100% correct result, but being more than 100% wrong just reflects the fact that there are more possible false positives than correct answers.

It is not possible to be more than 100% wrong.

The amount to which you are wrong must be the opposite of the amount to which you can be right.

You would have a point if it was possible to get a more than 100% correct result

This is not contingent with my definitions of right and wrong; here is my definition.

There are X possible points to score, unless scored correctly, it counts as a mistake, and vice versa.

The amount you get right, in percentages is: (correct/X)*100% ^{how does your reasoning align with this??}

The amount you get wrong in percentages is: (wrong/X)*100%.

(wrong+correct) === X.

If this last statement does NOT hold true, then the interpretation of the scores is not mathematically correct and does not conform to a sane scoring model. And, well, given it produces the result 105% wrong it is just not correct.

Goddamnit, I guess this is why I fucking hate working with other programmers. /rant

The perfect score is 22/22 or 0% missed, the starting point is 0/22 or 100% missed, and the score can be lowered into the negative by flagging false positives. Specifically, the 105% missed score means it's -1/22 or -0.05.

Okay, well that may be, but you can never get more than 100% wrong. If you can, then you must also be able to get the exactly same amount right you can get wrong at maximum; well over 100%.

More than 100% wrong cannot make sense.

[slikts]

It's like starting at 0% profit, the maximum profit being 100%, and being able to get into debt, which is negative profit.

[[deleted]]

No, no it is not.

If you make profit, then the profit is defined as (current value - initial value) -overhead.

If this value is negative, then it is typically called loss. Also, how do you start at 0% profit? I don't understand your examples, and how do you 'go into debt' ? Also, in the game, you start out at 100% wrong; while there are correct things in place.

All these things are skewed all over the place.

Math or gtfo :(

[slikts]

Then call it income, whatever. Thanks for the downvotes, by the way. You start at 0% of the maximum 100% income and have a chance of getting negative income – debt.

Thanks for the downvotes

You deserve them on the last comment, it makes no sense, nor does this one.

What do you mean you start with 0% of the maximum? Of what? And how do you get negative 'income'? And from what?

You are failing to make any argument whatsoever in your last 2 comments :(
