55 for me.
And, being the old retired math teacher, I finally figured out the formula Tnet uses.

I had to look twice to figure out which 55 you were referring to. I don't expect my 60 rating will ever increase. Please explain the formula - I was told that there would be no math and need help if that no longer applies.

Yea. I think I’m pretty well stuck at 54 too. If anything I may go down. I have become a less frequent contributor to this board and social media in general. I try really hard to avoid negative thoughts and negative people and I’ve found them to be plentiful in these places. It was easier to stay away during hunting season and now I’m going to have to try to find something else to occupy my time.

I hear you brother. I have slacked off some too. I've also been a little quicker to give a TD to some of these negative poasts. I believe I'm stuck on 59 as well.

Good luck finding something as useful as tigernet for entertainment. Not to mention that it is an excellent IQ booster for the elderly and the toddlers.

Imagine a number such as 18,350, add the digits together then subtract the sum..

of those digits from your imagined number. Circle one of the digits of the answer to you subtraction problem. You tell me the numbers that you didn't circle and I'll tell you the one you circled.
Example"
Step 1. Imagine a number 18,350 or any number with as many digits as you please, I don't need to know that.
Step 2. 1+8+3+5+0=17 I don't need to know that either
Step 3. 18350-17=? it doesn't matter to me because I do not need to know it.
Step 4. circle one of the digits in the number such as 18(3)33 and tell me only the digits you didn't circle.
If you want an A in this experience do the math correctly.

My guess at the formula. Corrected.

Not sure it is right, but it seems to be what worked for me.
Number of posts / 160 = jersey number.
For me: 8800 / 160 = 155
The reason I'm not sure that is correct is because I'm not sure how they add up posts. I didn't get to 55 until I went over 8800. But, I'm currently at 8987. Even though I post a lot, I haven't posted 187 posts since then.

Hey Brett, check your formula. I think u used an X when you wanted to use a /. Results are very different between the two.
And no, this formula does not work for my number.

But, I'm retired so I forgot my symbols.
You are correct. Thanks.

That didn’t even come remotely close for me.
It says I have 13,113 posts, which I find hard to believe.
13,113/160 =81.956
Where did you get the 160?

Congrats on double nickles! I gave you TU to get there. 28000pts did it

I assume its an exponential level of points per level, no complicated math involved

Clearly, my formula is wrong.

It worked for me, but not for you.
Oh well. I had a hypothesis. I tested it once and it worked. I used to use that as an example of faulty logic in mathematics. "Just because a formula works once, doesn't mean it works all the time."
But, I'm retired. I forgot all that stuff.
