im just curious
The coefficients came from a polynomial regression, which is a way of fitting a curve to a set of points. The points used came from some data that Prawnskunk had that is used during division placement. It's a list of score equivalencies, like a AAA on a difficulty 38 is equivalent to 13 goods on a difficulty 45 (I just picked random numbers here).This set of information was generally agreed-upon by the division placement staff, and proved to be the simplest and most accurate way of making a formula.
