25% of the number of people who reaching various acts will be the number of prizes awarded in each class up to some limit. How will it work if a non-multiple of 4 number of people are in the bin?

  • Rounded down? (conservative, but then if only 3 people reach Act IV, for example, nobody wins)
  • Rounded up? (4 to 5 people would see everybody's odds go from 25% to 45% chance to win)
  • Rounded down but minimum of one?
5
  • Could also be rounded traditionally (I.e. down at 5, up at 7, discretion of the team at 6)

    We'll buy one of the prizes and cut it into pieces, of course

    @LessPop_MoreFizz If it was rounded traditionally then it would also be up at 6.

  • Maybe everyone will win. Or maybe bees. Lord, I hope it's not the bees...

Good question - since this wasn't clear in the rules, here's what we'll do:

If less than 4 people finish a level, we will still award one prize. If more than 4 people finish a level but it's not a multiple of 4, we'll use traditional rounding rules to determine the number of people to win prizes.
