@theprof and non-gravity.
You have mis-understood.
First @ non-gravity:
You didn't work it out correctly:
-------
big Christmas week:
prediction: 700k
real figure: 1000k
points method 1: 30 (tick)
points method 2: 300 42.8%.
average: 155 (30+42.8) / 2 = 36.4... therefore you would get 36 points
----------------
quiet week 1:
prediction: 210k
real figure: 300k
points method 1: 30 (tick)
points method 2: 90 42.8 % (same as the other one)
average: 60 (same as the previous prediction)
------------
As method 2 does not involve converting 1k into 1% as you thought.... it is just dividing by the other number.... here:
Method 1:
(real figure - prediction) / real figure * 100
Method 2:
(real figure - prediction) / prediction * 100
