So last game, I scored 14 correct in 97.37 to get a 1023. mcdubb scored 15 correct in 91.9 seconds for a 1108. Thus if I had got 15 correct instead of 14, I would have gotten an 1123, beating mcdubb's score even though it would have taken me more than 5 seconds longer to submit.

What is going on here?

When Terry increased the number of questions from 10 to 15 he also lowered the value for each correct answer from 100 to 80. So if you had answered all correctly with the same time, you would have scored 1103, not 1123.

The score per correct answer in FMI was changed so the addition of questions wouldn't necessitate a recalibration of tiers in Everything and possibly a few other places. Having it max at 1400+ would have broken some stuff.
