You have 4 markers and you should use them all Robert Jordan Send a noteboard - 10/11/2012 03:08:37 PM
Morgase is 6 standard deviations from the mean and Lanfear is 6 SD above the mean. You should use Morgase, Daigian, Moiraine, and Lanfear as markers. You will get better numbers that way.

In other words, if you set Morgase at 1.0 linear strength and her strength is also equal to 6 SD below the mean you will get much better numbers. Work your way up from Morgase and you'll find that Lanfear is far, far above 100 points on a linear scale.

In other words, everyone has been trying to fit the curve onto a 100 point scale. That is a mistake. If you do what I'm suggesting and you stop thinking as 100 as the maximum (e.g. Lanfear might be at 300 or 400 or whatever) then you'll get much better numbers.

Hope this helps

Who said RJ created a 100 point scale? I always assumed we did to make this easier to follow - 31/10/2012 02:22:51 PM 933 Views
One more point here - 31/10/2012 03:02:34 PM 809 Views
I've think I've finally done it. I've solved the entire Curve. Daigian is the key... - 01/11/2012 09:20:57 AM 1044 Views
Did some playing with your numbers to make this work better - 01/11/2012 02:13:00 PM 998 Views
The Mean and SD are set by Daigian's position. Your options are therefore not possible... - 02/11/2012 07:49:24 AM 963 Views
Yet you have many more SD between the Mean and Lanfear than you do Morgase and the Mean - 02/11/2012 02:39:51 PM 822 Views
I absolutely agree. The lower side of the curve MUST be intersected by zero after 1 SD... - 02/11/2012 03:03:52 PM 689 Views
I am not convinced Moiraine is the Mean. Merely 50% of Lanfear - 02/11/2012 04:23:57 PM 867 Views
But on a Bell Curve the Mean IS 50% of Lanfear. You've just disproven your own contention. - 02/11/2012 04:40:31 PM 787 Views
OMG no it is NOT! - 02/11/2012 05:16:36 PM 693 Views
I agree with that. But please honestly look at the math I presented. It disproves the Bell Curve. - 02/11/2012 05:24:41 PM 991 Views
