Curiosity has gotten the best of me.

Question

I do enjoy getting points,although I'm enjoying the learning process more.I'm curious as to how some people on the leader boards have 1,000 or more points on a set of flashcards of say 80. At ten points a pop,how does that happen. If you let me know ,I'll give your answer a vote..Tengo curiosidad or estoy curiosidad.? No me importa. Thank you and Buena suerte.

Answer 1

You are only allowed 100 different words or phrases but if you double up on the the first 100 words or phrases someone with a perfect score could get 2,000 points on each section.

And swampy would know! ;-) - Gillygaloo, Jun 2, 2011

Actually, I have done most of your cards Swampy, and on some of them the same thing has happened, some of the words have been deleted. :) - Destroyed99, Jun 2, 2011

Got it, Thanks. Is that 3m I see there? - heliotropeman, Jun 2, 2011

3,065,916 to be exact! haha, good job Swampy! haha, think I could get there? hehe - Destroyed99, Jun 2, 2011

Sometimes words are added after you have a good score, and then your score doesn't look so good anymore. - swampy, Jun 2, 2011

I should add it's the learning not the scoring that really counts. - swampy, Jun 2, 2011

True. - heliotropeman, Jun 2, 2011

Answer 2

I have no idea about your question, but as I was reading it I started wondering: how do you say "got the best of me" in Spanish? Anybody know? I suppose I could look into it but I feel like being perezosa.

That sounds like it would work, Kiwi. - Beatrice-Codder, Jun 3, 2011

Answer 3

Because the person that made them has edited them deleted some of the words in the flashcard set after doing them.

Personally, I think it is unfair, I have had it happen to me a lot.

I hope that explains what you needed to know! :) - Destroyed99, Jun 2, 2011

Yes ,Thank you. It doesn't bother me ,I just wanted to know.Thanks for answering. - heliotropeman, Jun 2, 2011

Kewl bananas! ahha - Destroyed99, Jun 2, 2011

I appreciate your time and interest in doing my flashcard sets, I had noticed that but honest no deletions have been made just a correction needed that Kiwi Girl pointed out. - swampy, Jun 2, 2011

Ah! Ok, hehe, actually Swampy, I intend on doing every single one of yours! haha, I targeted you a week ago! :P lol, sorry, haha - Destroyed99, Jun 2, 2011
