Also, this is my last participation on Division 1.
hmm why? you don't like the system, and want swapping the engines in question for the top 3 places? :? I think the problem with that is someone could choose Rybka and get more points for that when the question is about the 8th, 9th and 10th place engines. A bit unfair, don't you think?

I just realized that winning this Division means nothing to me (I find meaningless to successfully predict 8th, 9th and 10th place.)

If the best case scenario is that I win this division then, sorry, but I'm not interested (things not related to fairness.)

Ok Fair enough, but do you have any suggestion/criticism, for improvement? 8-)

By the way, I have updated the logo (I realized the other one wasn't making much sense):

Yes, I would have found very interesting and meaningful if the task was to guess correctly the 2nd, 3rd and 4th place, and would have considered whoever picked Glaurung BETA for 2nd place a worthy winner (No offense meant to Pedro.)

I thought this division was easiest one to predict even with guessing 8,9,10 but it turned out to be harder.

Well, Thanks for this, I will make it better the next time, and ask questions like predict the 3,4,5 etc yes, i think this is somewhat better although there will be a lot of tie breaks.
