This thread is where I'll detail what the rules and arrangements are for the Chimp Challenge 2012. Please check this post occasionally, as it will be updated as the contest takes shape.
Chimp Challenge Arrangements and Rules
The contest will start on the 15th of May 2012 at 12 pm PDT (GMT -7) and finish on the 25th May 2012 at 12 pm PDT (GMT - 7).
Points
Prizes
Team Leaders
Passkeys
The username you need is T32monkeys.
The team number is, as always, 32.
The public passkey is 00fc1ca869ed43359d7ea6695cd75d28.
However, I recommend you PM myself, Adak or (who else has it?) for the private passkey. The public passkey could, in theory, be used by other teams to sink our bonuses for work unit return, so the private passkey is safer. The public passkey will get you going, however.
Have fun and keep it positive!

Points
- Three categories:
- Points: # of millions of points produced (e.g. 120 million = 120 points).
- Growth: based on last years points.
- Conversion: proportion of team points originating from the monkey, e.g. T32monkeys points divided by team points.
- Points from each category will be normalised so that the lowest team gets 10 points and the highest gets 110.
- Totals for each category are summed, and the winner is the team with the most chimp points.
- In the event of a close race, a Stanford daily_user_summary.txt file will be the official source for points information.
Prizes
- The victor gets to claim the lucky jaded monkey as the prize. Tales have been told of untold wealth and fame that comes with this. The victorious team is allowed to display in any honorary fashion the jaded monkey, the losing teams are forbidden to display it.
- The losing teams are bestowed the dreaded monkey's paw, which is said to be cursed. People have been known for have very bad luck with this paw!
