It changes every year. Grab everyone's aggregate, line then up in order and the best 30-ish get 99.95 :P

ahh yes that right.

i hope vcaa gets bored sometime in the future and makes a 99.95 with an aggregate of 72.15 with very harsh scaling down of subjects.

eg spesh scales down by 17.

further scales down by 42


heha!




VCAA are bored. Thats why they have got physics.

Hey guys,

Yeah enwiabe made a mistake, I got 46 in Biology (2007) and 43 in Spec (2008).
My aggregate was 209.9
Does that mean that the aggregate required to get a 99.95 has lowered? I thought you had to get 211. But then again, I may have just made that up.

Well done! That's such a terrific effort!
It's lower this year because for some reason spec isn't scaling up nearly as much as it used to. Seems that a 209.1 was enough to get you 99.95 this year, whereas in my year my friend got 210.9 and only got 99.90 (poor guy).

polky,

You know how I feel, or rather, how I expressed myself when you got your results. Congratulations.

He has edited this post to correct typo in polkys results, BUT NOT TO ADD THE OTHER DUX OF FSN

Pathetic favouring, enwiabe. Fix it you jerk.
I will not be quiet until you acknowledge those who deserve it.

Edit: I have also sent a PM regarding this issue.

So is enwiabe going to change the title of this thread to "VN would like to congratulate the duces of the site for 2008: Polky & Synesthetic"? :P

Doubt it very much. There is bias towards those known to the community more on this site. This can be seen by the announcement at 7:11am when there is no chance everyone would have gotten their results in yet. I remember last year it was in the afternoon people started claiming a FSN dux. They both equally earned it.
*Disclaimer: I love polky. I am not attacking her at all :P

polky's aggregate is higher than mine so she deserves it more :)

And to polky, really well done - besides the ENTER, you achieved excellent scores in a huge variety of subjects!

2008- English (50)[50], Literature (50)[50], Methods (49)[49.7], Specialist (44)[50.5], Chemistry (41)[45]
ENTER: 99.95

*double post* I only just saw this, really it's okay, I'm not craving acknowledgment ;D

And as I posted above she has a slightly higher aggregate, so she is *the* dux.

a 99.95 is still a 99.95, aggregates dont count to dux only the ENTER at the end

Congrats btw Synesthetic, and I can see you're a decent, well deserving person too ^_^ (humble etc)

I am trying to be impersonal in my posts. Whether you believe you deserve a thread half dedicated to you or not isn't what I'm arguing. I am arguing as to why after only 11 minutes since results came out a dux was determined (we found a 99.95 among IRC users, thus this must be our only dux? our most important one?), and then the fact enwiabe has edited this thread after you have posted your results and failed to acknowledge your existence.

Humphdogg's post inspired me to see me get an answer to this question. I will not rest until I get one :)
