Question

need help in understanding smart score : how does problem solving increases

Answer 1

It is given in your profile too, but I'd explain more.
Problem Solving increases by answering more and more questions.

Answer 2

I believe it's a combination of /magic/ and /wizardry/ :)
honestly I have no idea on how the smartscore system works.

Answer 3

so it does not depend on how much medals i get for how many quest.?

Answer 4

It does.

Answer 5

"answering questions" lol. nice answer.

Answer 6

Actually, it doesn't depend much on the ratio.
You still have a high SS if you got 1000 questions answered and 25 medals received.

Answer 7

SmartScore has not been made so smart that it counts the ratio

Answer 8

oh k thanks a lot @ParthKohli

Answer 9

parth is a master developer so he knows all of these

Answer 10

Not to mention: I am just an observer, and some of my observations have got me to this conclusion.
I'd leave it to the administrators to point out if I am wrong.
thanks!

Answer 11

mehhh..im pretty sure you're right since you explained it with much conviction! ^_^

Answer 12

very right parth ..

Answer 13

how can the smartscores go down? by you making mistakes??

Answer 14

Generally the best way to have Problem Solving go up is by getting medals for helping people with their questions.

@cwrw238 No, SmartScore is a percentile score. So if someone's raw score increases, then they move to a different slot. If their slot is above yours, your smart score will decrease.

Answer 15

aahh - i see - thank you

Answer 16

that's what makes it fun

Answer 17

btw @farmdawgnation i noticed when i got 100 engagement score many people's score decreased by 2. is that automatic whenever someone reaches 100?

Answer 18

Is the shifting automatic? Yes. But there are some people at 99, of this I am sure.

Answer 19

hmm maybe it just happens to people who dont touch that subscore. but if they keep the subscore active then the dont get a shift
