Leaderboard
There are three leaderboards in every game mode of Geography Snap. More precisely, the 5 fastest players per day, per week and since the beginning of Geography Snap (well, only since October 26th 2020, not 25th). Well, the player Changedaworld invented a points system according to the rank of a player in any leaderboard. Here it is :
1st place : 7 points
2nd place : 5 points
3rd place : 3 points
4th place : 2 points
5th place : 1 point
So, if we take every old game mode (game modes that were there before the November 2022 update), take the 5 best players in these All-Time leaderboards, and assign points according to their ranks, we get this leaderboard for the month of September 2024 :
| Rank | Player | Number of Points | Number of Points Evolution | Rank Evolution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | SilverDog | 283 | = | = |
| 2nd | Changedaworld | 257 | = | = |
| 3rd | Dagod | 107 | = | = |
| 4th | Batman23 | 27 | = | = |
| 5th | Sammyboi | 22 | = | = |
| 6th | KonevRokossovsky | 20 | = | = |
| 7th | pappus1232 | 16 | = | = |
| 8th | tamara | 11 | = | = |
| 9th | anahita | 7 | = | = |
| Dontforget | 7 | +2 | +2 | |
| smirkymyjens | 7 | = | = | |
| 10th | BI | 6 | = | = |
| 11th | Chaddius | 4 | = | +1 |
| 12th | GameyTV | 3 | = | +1 |
| merpell | 3 | = | +1 | |
| nimbru | 3 | = | +1 | |
| 13th | Hageball | 3 | -1 | -1 |
| yawnofthedead | 3 | = | +1 | |
| 14th | Jilb | 3 | = | +1 |
| MarcelVos | 3 | = | +1 | |
| 15th | Albmaralb | 2 | = | +1 |
| backstreetben | 2 | = | +1 | |
| zWallaby | 2 | = | +1 | |
| 16th | hfgsy | 2 | = | +1 |
| pseudocraul | 2 | = | +1 | |
| 17th | CaptWillard | 1 | = | +1 |
| MarkScholten | 1 | = | +1 | |
| PowerGuiido | 1 | = | +1 | |
| Tmnight | 1 | = | +1 | |
| Transvaal | 1 | = | +1 |
And would you look at that ? Stewart is gone from the leaderboard ! The oldest time ever done that was still on an All-Time leaderboard has been ousted off of the top-5 it was in !
- GameyTV, Hageball, Jilb, MarcelVos, merpell, nimbru and yawnofthedead all have 3 points, but GameyTV, merpell and nimbru have a 3rd place, Hageball and yawnofthedead have a 4th place, and Jilb & MarcelVoshave a 5th place.
- Albmaralb, backstreetben, zWallaby, hfgsy & pseudocraul all have 2 points, but Albmaralb, backstreetben & zWallaby have a 4th place and hfgsy & pseudocraul don't.

Times Stats
Out of all 225 All-Time top-5s times, 2 were improved, but no World Record ! Here they are, broken down by game mode !
| Game Mode | Rank | Improvement |
|---|---|---|
| Flags Medium | 5th | 0.2s |
| Flags & Shapes Hard | 3rd | 0.6s |
If we add every top-5 time in every old game mode, we get to...
2113.8 seconds, or 35 minutes and 13.8 seconds !
That's 0.8 second that was cut off during September !
If we only take the 1st time in every All-Time, we get to...
309.2 seconds, or 5 minutes and 9.2 seconds !
That's 0.0 second that was cut off during September.
Ever since the first Snap Stats blog (June 2022), a total of
830.0 seconds, or 13 minutes and 50.0 seconds
have been cut off from the sum of every old top-5 times, and
204.9 seconds, or 3 minutes and 24.9 seconds
from the sum of every old 1st place.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this month has not been special, except for... well, Stewart getting ousted of the leaderboard. As I said, his 7.0s on Flags Medium was the oldest time ever done that was still standing today. It was done on October, 27th 2020, so just two days after Geography Snap was created (not counting the leaderboards reset due to a bug) ! At the time, it was the World Record, and since December 2022, it was pending at 5th place, and on September, 13th 2024, this time was finally ousted out of the top-5.
So now, what is the new oldest time that is still standing today ? I do not have a clue ! It could be hfgsy's 18.8s on Capitals Hard, since it was already there in early April 2021, but there could be an even older time somewhere. Anyway this conclusion is becoming way too long, see you in the next blog !SilverDog
