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 :)

I guess you have a point - but I stand by what I said above!

In any case, I appreciate your efforts in looking out for me, it shows you're a really decent person too :)

go Polky and Synesthetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what do you guys/gals want to do in uni?

My first preference is Biomedicine at Melbourne Uni.
2007- History Revs (44)[46], Chinese SL (32)[44]
2008- English (50)[50], Literature (50)[50], Methods (49)[49.7], Specialist (44)[50.5], Chemistry (41)[45]
ENTER: 99.95

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.

*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

;]

For what it's worth, duces are usually determined by the aggregate when the ENTER's granularity isn't fine enough. That's what they did at my school when we had 10 people sharing 99.90.

Then ask a moderator to do it, there's plenty of them around.

Melbourne High School, class of 2007. It was a bit of a freak year, 26% of the kids got above 99 when usually it's only 13%.

Maybe, but it's pretty unlikely. They're a much smaller school, it's not exactly a level playing ground!

Yeah, it'd be nice! As far as I know, Leibler Yavneh has topped the state a couple of times.

I think enwiabe was just really happy for polky, like we all were, he obviously didn't deliberately set out to exclude anybody, it's just that polky told him first, if someone gets a 99.95, it's fair to say they will be the dux, and since those scores are not all that common why should he have to wait to celebrate a friends acheivement, besides i'm sure this is the last thing on synethestics mind at the moment, and even so, i'd be suprised if enwiabe dignified the question with an answer
