Another question for which I could probably find the answer myself, but I'm much too lazy. How do rankings work? For example, two persons who have approximately the same credits (let's say 15000 and 15001) are ranked next to each other, but they are stated as 15000/5435 and 15001/9786). The numerators make sense, but what the heck are these denominators?

Recent Average Credit.

Basically it's a measure of how quick you turn in work.

Average credit, the faster work comes in, the higher your average credit, also the more computers running under your account the higher your average credit will be because the average credit of each computer is added together.
Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge.
