Todays daily contest 2/5/2012

[edog743]

Webman just so I totally understand the uphill battle I am fighting everyday in the daily challenges. What are the exact numbers of Gold, silver and basic members today 

[Webman]

Your personal uphill battle is you against about 5,000 other people each day, in a daily contest. The number of participants is posted with the results for each contest.There are more than 240,000 basic members but they are not all participating obviously.  Many people just sign up to play a few games or check things out.What are you looking for, the odds of a Gold member coming out on top? I believe I've posted those in the past based on participation in a given contest. If that's what you want, I can crunch the numbers again after the weekend.

I will simplify my Question out of the currently 254,124 members on this site how many are Gold. How many are Silver. How many are basic members?

[Webman]

There are 2,970 active gold members at the moment. I don't have the exact silver member count handy.

O.K. thanks It is considerably worse than I thought

[Webman]

Not sure what you mean. It is more relevant who is actually playing in a given contest. I'm pretty sure we've been over this before.

I'm not really sure I understand the point of all this.
 
What, exactly, is the "problem"?

[edog743]

No I thought there was maybe 30,000 gold or so. that is what I meant. should have clarlified that. Thanks again for the info.

[Webman]

That would be great. The more the merrier!

Never mentioned there was a problem Onemoretry. Do not know how you would get such an idea.
