AI Thread Summary
A discussion centered around the idea of hosting a "best of the best" photo contest, featuring winners from previous contests, suggests that this event may occur closer to the end of the year. Participants express interest in analyzing potential correlations between the order of photos in original contests and their final voting outcomes, although some believe this analysis would require significant effort for a casual event. The conversation also touches on the submission order of photos, indicating that winners can emerge from any position in the lineup. Additionally, there is a mention of the possibility of a fungi-themed contest, but the primary focus remains on the proposed "best of the best" contest and its logistics.

When are you going to give us a "best of the best" photo contest? the winners of previous contests and we vote for the best? Or are you waiting for the end of the year?

Probably closer to the end of the year.

Do you think it would be possible to have correlations between the order of the pictures chosen in the original contest threads and the final orders after votes ? I guess Zz tries to be as little subjective as possible, and also a proper experiment should re-do all the contests with at least one different order in the contest threads.

Yeah, I'm interested in that as well! :biggrin:
 
I just meant take the winner of each contest and put them into a best of the best contest.

Has there been a Fungi contest? Mold, mushrooms, cheese etc.

That's just way too much work for something meant to be just for fun. If someone wants to study that, then go right ahead. I certainly don't have the time and patience to do it.

The order that I list the pictures corresponds to the order that they were submitted. Off the top of my head, I don't see any correlations. I've seen pictures submitted early win, and I've seen pictures submitted late win.

I think most the people here are intelligent enough to not vote "C" everytime.
