Else where in this thread you said:

the longer you've been ABLE to participate is a distinct and obvious advantage

I hard-coded your data for you into the Ranking the Saints by XP Efficiency script since you have not yet been inscribed in The Book.

The data appear not to support your proposition, I am afraid. Quite a number of the Saints are around your age, or younger. (limiting to top 25 + trippledubs)

perl XP_efficiency.pl -r 1 -s age -f trippledubs -o desc -l 25

Now I am no statistician, as I mentioned earlier, but it does seem to me that the number of posts made has something to do with the game.


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
