AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on developing a formula to weight the "12 Month Median Ranking of Opponent" in tennis player statistics. The goal is to adjust the significance of the "12 Month Service Points Won" based on the opponent's ranking, as a player achieving the same service points against a lower-ranked opponent is considered to perform better. The user seeks a method to quantify this difference, ensuring that the statistics reflect the quality of competition faced by each player. A clear formula is requested to incorporate this weighting effectively. The conversation emphasizes the need for a more nuanced approach to evaluating player performance in relation to their opponents' rankings.

I have the following table.

I would like to know how to give an weight to the "12 Month Median Ranking of Opponent" so it changes other two columns depending on how high/low the ranking is.
To put this into perspective, this is regarding tennis players. On the spreadsheet I can have two players facing each other that have the same "12 Month Service Points Won" of 40%. Although Player A has a "12 Month Median Ranking of Opponent" of 300 and Player B of 100. Although the percentages are the same the player who managed to get a 40% "12 Month Service Points Won" against an "12 Month Median Ranking of Opponent" of 100 is extremely better than Player A that managed to get the same 40% against a "12 Month Median Ranking of Opponent" of 300.
I would like a formula to tackle this issue.

Let me know if I wasn't clear on any of my explanation.

I would like to come up with a formula that takes the ranking of opponent into account, giving more or less value to the other two columns.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
