Checking the top 10 list, t...Thanks for the story!<br /><br />Checking the <a href="http://brsts.com/top10.php" rel="nofollow">top 10 list,</a> there's one person (user blueiaso) who revealed the book, apparently through cascade size + many correct guesses + teamwork (invited friends correct guesses are revealed). 8 have revealed the book.<br /><br />I suspect the top 3 users to reveal the book are friends working together, probably all 8 of the revealers. Blueiaso has a cascade size of 17, but 2 other users had larger cascade sizes (134 and 110), but have not revealed the book. The other 7 revealers have 0 - 2 cascade size.<br /><br />I also suspect that the team strategically divided their labor. They need to choose a list of most probable highly used words, possibly by looking thru all available data (past papers + reviews of the book), then using font size/family and word = green box length. <br /><br />Another task might be to find the most probable location(s) of the meat of Barabasi's argument.<br /><br />There are many online word unscramblers as well to facilitate high correct guesses. Or, they're just good at it!<br /> <br />What are cascades here? Blog cascade: 1) Post, then 2) read by others, 3) they post, and 4)link back to original post. What is the link back? Messages/communication? What am I missing? <br /><br />This is fun!<br />LaurenLaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17585723607237060761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569772432953120875.post-87201678535861481832010-04-14T17:09:26.938-04:002010-04-14T17:09:26.938-04:00Thanks, Kris, for yet another unusual experiment. ...Thanks, Kris, for yet another unusual experiment.
