Geography Snap Statistics (November 2022) : The New Game Modes

As many of you know by now, there is a leaderboard in every game mode of Geography Snap. More precisely, the 5 fastest players per day, per week and since the beginning of Geography Snap (not really, more like since 26th October 2020 for the 45 old game modes, and since November 21st for the 144 new ones). Well, the player Changedaworld invented a points system according to the rank of a player in the All-Time leaderboard. Here it is :

1^st place : 7 points

2^nd place : 5 points

3^rd place : 3 points

4^th place : 2 points

5^th place : 1 point

So, here is a leaderboard for all 189 game modes, for November :

The player who's the 1^st in the most categories is... Changedaworld, being first in 149 game modes.

The player who's the 2^nd in the most categories is... SilverDog, being second in 137 game modes.

The player who's the 3^rd in the most categories is... RoxyTheQuizzer, being third in 39 game modes.

The player who's the ^4th in the most categories is... RoxyTheQuizzer too, being fourth in 28 game modes.

The player who's the 5^th in the most categories is... boepnx77, being fifth in 15 game modes.

There are 51 game modes without a 5th place, 29 without a 4th place and 18 without a 3rd place.

The greatest gap between 2 players is 182,4 seconds, between Abhishekt's 126,0 seconds and Realistic's 308,4s seconds in Countries, Capitals, Flags, Flag-Shapes & Biggest Cities Hard.

The greatest gap between the 1^st and the 5^th in a game mode played by 5 players or more is 286,7 seconds, between Changedaworld's 21,7 seconds and Realistic's 308,4s seconds, again in Countries, Capitals, Flags, Flag-Shapes & Biggest Cities Hard.

The smallest gap between the 1^st and the 5^th is 0,5 seconds, between Changedaworld's 3,3 seconds and Batman23's 3,8 seconds, in Countries & Flags Easy.

The smallest gap between the 1^st and the 5^th in a new game mode played by 5 players or more is 1,9 seconds, between SilverDog's 2,5 seconds and izra's 4,4 seconds, in Flag-Shapes Easy.

If we add every time in every All-Time top 5, we get to... 15592,5 seconds, or 4 hours, 19 minutes and 52,5 seconds. And if we only take the time of the first in every All-Time, we get to 2069,9 seconds, or 34 minutes and 29,9 seconds.

Now, as you can imagine, there will be no graph for the 189 game modes version of Geography Snap Statistics, as keeping track of the number of people with at least one World Record every day is nearly impossible.

Fun Fact : To achieve a sub-3s on Flags Easy, it took 1 year, 6 months and 24 days. To achieve a sub-3s on Flag-Shapes Easy, it took 26 minutes.

In conclusion, the new game modes made new players come play Snap, and that's a good thing ! Now, optimizing these new game modes will take more time than the 45 old ones, of course. Yes, that Statistics blog might not be very long, and that's because I can't compare to anything, as the 2 new categories were added on November 21^st. I wonder if some people will be able to get good amount of World Records during December...
