review of wrong answer

Post by Claudio Porcellana »

Hi all
it would be very useful a review of the wrong answer movies, with arrows to show missed particles .... as some of them are very odd and/or little

Nice timing! I just broke off ... got 2 in the last while.

Surely staff must recognize the statistical value of tracking which calibration movies folk are getting wrong. I realize this means adding to the database ... but we're reminded repeatedly that this is s'posed to be fun and right now I'm second guessing myself ... the creepy feeling that I'm making the same mistake again and again.

Addendum: I think I've located my systemic error. I gave my most recent movie a triple-close look and I spotted a teeny track ... 5 microns? less?
Distinct, and correct, and small!
When you look to see how the system works
Likely you will find that it does not.

May i suggest we on our own make a new thread for wrong answers, that way we can help ourselves to learn what we did wrong by commenting on what the mistake likely was?

That might arise but for now it seems that folk are just posting per occasion.

Wow ... I just missed 10839A ... classic ... teeenie!

If there wasn't a little track like this in Training I nominate this one.

*cough*

I'm sure 10621B has a track. I'm real careful about clicking accurately. I got "Incorrect".

I would assume that the stats for cal. movies are collected in just the same way as real movies. The difference is that these are secret - if we know the answers to the cal movies, then the cal movies become useless as a mechanism for testing user accuracy.

At the moment, there is not enough data to draw any real conclusions. My best real track has 6/33 agreements. If it was a cal, and had 27/33 agreements, is that really significant?
