winning effort should have been calculated using a followers:likes ratio, that way you know who tried harder. otherwise it's just rewarding whoever had a stronger instagram account.

Does your inner statistician also consider the number of hastags used and the popularity of those hashtags?

give me a minute

What about the number of hostages? We could always take Murtle's bike hostage.

problem here is the efficiency of converting followers to likes. you can't assign an arbitrary number to the power of your following because it differentiates from account to account.

I tried measuring hashtag popularity in number of photos per hashtag and grouping them and attaching a cumulative weight, which seems to work well if the assumption that a tag with 1,000,000 photos will attract not just more likes than a tag with 100 photos, but exponentially more.

i.e. 0-499 = '0.1', 500-999 = '0.2', 1000-1999 = '0.4'......., 500000-999999 = '200'

then used an (again arbitrary) formula of

success of a picture = [account strength*(hastags used*popularity of hashtags)+number of hostages] + 10^c

where c = quality of photo, measured on a scale from 1-10

then I realised I'm being a massive nerd and I'd rather watch a film and chill the fuck out so gave up and just deleted everything.

I'll just take this post hostage, then.

edited it anyway

the other problem is that some tags, like #instagood or #picoftheday are so flooded that once you post your photo it's already on page 3.

I can see my PhD title already:

And you forgot to tell us.
Think we deserve a #consolationprize

Never used a hashtag.

Racing my friend to 300 followers, any extra appreciated greatly, feel free to unfollow after I win @kidskidder

Happy with some of the shitty photos I've been getting with my phone lately...

Poached eggs on crumpets could be a taste sensation....

A heavenly world of delicious. The gooey yolk gettin all up inside the crumpets... so good!

Also. they're 5 min boiled and rolled/peeled (:

Poached properly are maybe superior, but these are easier to do in a batch...

Lovely pics Tom.

Cheers Indra! It's nice actually looking back over the past couple of months, reminders of the good times.

I know that feelings, pics from happy and sunny rides when I felt good.

I went out and bought eggs and crumpets when you posted that pic... it was fucking amazing.

You're all idiots. it's eggs and MUFFINS.

crumpets >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

eggy crumptes = instant win

1. toast crumptes
   
2. spread marmite on said crumpets
   
3. finely chop a chili
   
4. mix 2 eggs with said chili
   
5. dunk the crumptes in the egg mix
   
6. put it all in a frying pan and fry until the egg is cooked
   
7. eat...
