Midweek Rankings Update

Hi everyone!

We made it over halfway! How are you doing? Remember, it's better to keep up a slow and steady pace than to try to power through. Doing a few IDs at a time DOES add up. When you get tired, take a break!

First of all, how about those Unknowns? So far we have identified approximately 15,000, plus a few. That's great!

Also, all together, we have made 40,112 identifications (As of 5:03 AM UTC). Wow!
Now, on to the categories.

Improvement:

1st @richyfourtytwo, 3605%
2nd @zdanko, 2880%
3rd @antrozousamelia, 2400%
4th @muddytortoise, 1565%
5th @srall, 1489%
6th @bouteloua, 1305%

10th @mydadguyfieri, 960%
20th @juan_sphex, 435%
30th 225%
40th 120%

Those are some really insane numbers! Holy Cow!

Beginners' Challenge:

• We would like to congratulate the following users on reaching

Mystery:

We have included rankings, but we have semi-anonymized them. If you can figure out who is who, you get another piece of the puzzle. (Please refer to the rankings sheet to see the usernames replaced by Hebrew letters. I tried to copy them here but the formatting got strange... it's still refusing to make line breaks in the list below. Sorry about that. )

A reminder that the hints are as follows:

• Searching for Blue and Amy
• Some of Our Favorite Things
• The Known Unknowns

How prizes will work:

There are big, medium, and small prizes. They will be revealed later because, frankly, we still haven't decided what all the options will be.

• At the end, whoever is ranked #1 in each category (Improvement, Old, any Mystery) gets a big prize. #2-3 get medium prizes. #4-6 get small prizes. We are only half way through, so don't get comfortable if you've been doing well so far...
• Beginners who complete at least 2 challenges get a small prize. At least 5, a medium prize. At least 8 (of 9 possible), get a big prize. Right now @fseichter and @mirts are in the lead, having each completed 4 of the challenges.
• Consistency is a bit different, we want to give a group prize. So far 53/64 contestants are still holding on.

We will see you again on Monday May 31 for the final rankings. That update will reveal the mystery categories as well. Keep up the good work!
