Answer 4

@chosenmatt

Answer 5

it cannot be known

Answer 6

There is some tricky way @TheSmartOne knows more about it.

Answer 7

I suggest you ask @TheSmartOne . As stated above, he knows it. There is actually a post that was made of this similar question. You'll have to go \(\huge\leftarrow\) there and scroll down\(\huge\downarrow\).

Answer 8

You don't, it just motivates you that much more to get to the next one. Also, 65-67 is really tough, so just keep helping people :)

Answer 9

*65-75

Answer 11

No one knows..... Only that Mysterious User... known as........ @TheSmartOne (AKA) TheScaryone....

Answer 12

Yes I do know. But I was thinking of making a post for it but hen I realized users can use it to know how much they need to spam themselves for example to reach a particular SS..

Answer 13

Also there are others who know. I am not the only one... lol

Answer 14

Eh I tell you though. So whatever you have done so far. Do it again and you will be at least with like a 79SS

Answer 15

little bar? There is no such "little" bar. lol

Answer 16

No it doesn't lol. Also it would be very difficult to tell because it is in increments of 5...

Answer 17

O_O

Answer 18

What are you talking about?

Answer 19

The "bar" if you see in your screenshot it has 55 then 60 then 65 then 70 and so on.

Answer 20

Answer 26

do you know why only satellite can have 100 SS? just curious...

Answer 27

@data_lg2 I guess because there can only be 1 #1. No one will remember the #2 :P

Answer 28

lol i thought it has something to do with the "magic formula" xD

Answer 29

tbh there is no magic formula. Its more like a scale. You get points for doing certain actions :D

Answer 30

and the scale is relative

Basically do twice as much as before. It gets even harder after that.

Answer 42

no that's not the formula

Answer 43

I think I know it a little because it is all about the bar

Answer 44

Its too complicated to figure it out unless you are @thomaster

Answer 45

@TheSmartOne knows

Answer 46

I know. @shifuyanli

Answer 47

You’ll notice in the new profile pages there is a graph to display the progress of your SmartScore for the past few weeks. This represents your overall SmartScore which is currently comprised of your scores in the three categories we’ve decided to focus upon (for now):

Teamwork - Which focuses upon your willingness and aptitude to communicate and interact with others in group settings, very small groups like those that are formed within a question and large groups like all users studying mathematics. You interact in chat, but your actions within questions -- asking, answering, helping, guiding are considered more heavily as they are core the principles of the site

Problem Solving - The ability to identify a situation/question to which you are willing to exert your own effort to construct a coherent, thoughtful, and respectfully toned solution to the benefit of another and even yourself.

Engagement - which focuses primarily upon the actions and effort you exert in your own questions that you have asked because you want to learn a new concept and your willingness to interact with people who are helping you.

You’re surely wondering what each variable actually means in the category boxes. Below are the descriptions. Keep in mind, these are not all the variables that we are analyzing. There’s a lot more to the score, and we’ll keep you informed about the progress.

Answer 48

No you don't It is complicated like Conflux said. I would have told you but umm checking your history I rather not.

Answer 49

what do you mean @TheSmartOne please tell me I promise!

Answer 50

I would have told all of OS but then I know, some users will use that to game the system to increase their SS because they know what is most important on this scale.

Answer 51

whether you know or you don't know the formula, it will not make any difference, you still have to work hard to raise it up :)

Answer 52

What @Data_LG2 said :D

Answer 53

please @TheSmartOne I just am curious

Answer 54

I have only told a few people who I trust not to cheat. So the answer is no. Also if you rather want I can tell you how much you need to increase :P But as I said if you do whatever you have done so far one more time you will reach 79SS.

So lets say you have currently x amount of points. So at x amount of points you have 69 SS. But if you get 2x amount of points in all, then you will have 79SS. And if you get 4x amount of points you get 99SS.

Answer 55

You don't.

Answer 56

I think only the old tech guys know the formula.

Answer 74

http://prntscr.com/5w2k0v

Answer 75

interesting...

Answer 76

anbd there can only be 1 100 ss because of its all done on ranking... 100 means number 1 rank on openstudy

Answer 77

^^^^

Answer 78

that also means the more members there are on openstudy who are at 99, means the longer it takes to get to 99

Answer 79

theve given subtle hints on post scattered throughout time and posts... if you go through all mods awnsered and asked questions eventually you get enough info to figure out the info if you put it all togetehr :P

Answer 80

Well, it is a relative system, so there is no exact number. However, the user base has grown to the point where the relative system is seen some predictable averaging.

Answer 81

^

And as we get more members the scales numbers slowly increase :)

Answer 82

yea... its possible for your ss to even go down at times! but thats only ifyour iniactive for a long time or suddenlyy 3 million people join os in a few minutes XD
