12/12 for the second one; the first one I think was 11/12.

Thanks. How long did it take from them all to come in after you submitted?

For the second one, we got about half of them within the last few days before the testing deadline (though a whole bunch right after I submitted the drafts). They definitely came in in waves.
I'm not as sure about the first one because forks took the lead there (and only one smith gets notified as the feedback comes in).

Yep

I have created a couple of Alpaca Farm quizzes, which I had fun with, but maybe I should try to do an official 1DS at some point. It's always just seemed like a long and complicated process.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 13 April 2021 14:28 (three years ago) link
Maybe, but there’s just something about seeing something you wrote come out in that format.

My 1DS comes out May 3. I have 11/12 feedback right now (the 12th still has a couple weeks and I personally almost always submit my feedback on the last day so I can't really complain).
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Tuesday, 13 April 2021 14:46 (three years ago) link
Smithing 1DS's is definitely a time consuming and pretty thankless process but it's one of my favorite things about LL. Not something I would do if I didn't find writing and tinkering with questions fun though.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Tuesday, 13 April 2021 14:47 (three years ago) link
Same here, even though this is my first one. Yours looks interesting, mine comes out two days later.

Me. I think I'm going to do all four MLs during this off-season, which may be a first for me.

I remember doing the Pen and Paper Math one weekend and spending a lot of time and getting maybe 9/12, maybe one stupid error and two others that were quite hard computations then seeing how many people got 12/12 and wondering how much time they had spent or how in practice they were.

...and the same thing just happened to me on Optimizations. Got nine right and was ranked in the 600s.
― It Is Dangerous to Meme Inside (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 13 April 2021 19:39 (three years ago) link
I got 8, which is pretty good for me, especially on a 1DS that I didn't expect to participating in.
― Tahini Coates (Leee), Tuesday, 13 April 2021 20:49 (three years ago) link
And interesting that all of the questions except two in Optimizations were worth < 50 points.

I got an email about my 1DS marking the midpoint, and it sez that so far we've had a total of 142 submissions. Obviously there's still a whole half day left, but still, oof!
― Tahini Coates (Leee), Thursday, 15 April 2021 20:30 (three years ago) link
I didn't realize you had one up! Having now taken a look, I'll give it a go, but I will say that this is not a 1DS that I would normally have done (and, since I've never read the book, do not expect to do very well on).

I liked yours, but made a dumb mistake. We’ll see. I am not expecting even that much turnout for mine. The turnout- and high scoring! - for Optimizations gives me a good idea about the makeup of a good bit of LL.
― It Is Dangerous to Meme Inside (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 15 April 2021 22:10 (three years ago) link
I wouldn’t worry about the turnout though, I just looked back at some single artist musical 1DSes that I participated in as well as some literature ones and the results were of similar orders of magnitude.

Always remember that Zappa one since I finished pretty high ranking-wise if not percentile-wise despite not being a fan, only getting four right and not even moneying all four of those.

I did a Neil Young 1DS with only 48 participants, but that was back in 2013, when the league was much smaller.
― jaymc, Thursday, 15 April 2021 23:18 (three years ago) link
Yeah, was wondering about that too.
― It Is Dangerous to Meme Inside (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 15 April 2021 23:33 (three years ago) link
That makes me feel a little better! I think my current hope is that we at least beat the turnout for John Grisham.
If your May 1DS is the one I think it is, it's at least about a medium that should attract more players. And FWIW, I had briefly thought that the turnout for my and forks's was going to be low, but we ended up breaking 1000 (and in fact it had the most players of that day's topics).

No, that does not sound like my 1DS. Did you guys already prepare your recap minus the stats?

A little bit yes, though not every smith ends up putting up a recap.
