Obviously the system stores the rankings numerically, but I can't seem to find the data. How do we find the exact score of a comic?

Is this all there is?

If you look at an individual comic you'll see that comic's number at the end of the URL in the address bar. Recent comics are in the high 7000s right about now.

So let's say you want to know the score of comic 7284. Start by multiplying it by 10. (Unless the number is prime, in which case multiply by 8.)

Take the result and subtract 1000. Reverse the digits of the result (ie 71840 --> 04817). Take the square root of that number and round down to the nearest multiple of 10.

Finally, find the result on the following table and note the number in the second column.

50000: 18.4

Take the number you noted from the second column and multiply it by your age. Take the mod-26 of each 2 digit set (divide by 26 and note the remainder.) Take the result of each and note its corresponding letter (1:A, 2:B, etc.)

This should spell the name of the town in which you were born.

Sorry. I got confused. You actually _can't_ find out the numerical rankings of individual comics.

Don't feel bad. I asked the same question as soon as I got here. I think everyone else did too.

We used to give away the numerical scores. Then people started cheating. Now we cloak everything in black magic and secrecy. Seems to be working out.

Black magic? Dear lord, I had no idea! I'm never spending any time in this heathen-laden dump ever again.

I say good day, sir!

I'm generating 30,000 of those hits, so all I can say is, y'all're slackers.

(Hits to lowpass.net, that is. Not Gabe's mom. *shudders*)

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

And the winner for best putdown of 1989 is...

Seriously though, I'm glad so many hits are being generated. I was a little worried when the advertising banners went down and a couple of rumors started. Now it will be Lowpass Forever! Or some such battlecry.

Hey, I'm not the one reliving my Cheers days through a comic contest. You are Mr. 1980. You've probably got parachute pants, don't you?

Admit it! You're wearing them right now!
