You will find below the rankings for the championship; the number next to the player's name is the number of times that player has participated in a championship.
Congratulations first and foremost to our top-ranked players:
1st Place: Stelios Vlasopoulos of Belgium wins: Amazon.com US$250 Gift Card.
2nd Place: kowido wins: Amazon.com US$175 Gift Card.
3rd Place: Chris Saxon of United Kingdom wins: Amazon.com US$100 Gift Card.
Stelios' victory is impressive in two ways: first, he submitted his answers in under 15 minutes, much faster than anyone else (and still achieved 100% correct). Second, he took first place in the Q3 2012 championship. That's quite a track record!
Congratulations to everyone who played in the playoff. I hope you found it entertaining, challenging and educational. And for those who were not able to participate in the championship, you can take the quizzes next week through the Practice feature.
Warm regards, Steven Feuerstein
Note 1: You may wonder how two players can achieve the same % correct and yet the player with the slower time is ranked ahead of a person with a faster time. This can happen due to the fact that the % correct is cumulative across all quizzes in the competition, but you receive a higher score for correct answers on advanced quizzes, compared to intermediate and beginner quizzes. This championship had 4 advanced quizzes and 1 intermediate quiz.
Note 2: Below the table of results for this championship, you will find another list showing the championship history of each of these players.
