Geography Snap Statistics (February 2023)

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 26^th October 2020). 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 February :

There is one new player this month, BI, although they have already been in some leaderboards, so it's more like a comeback. Also, manuelordonezf got ousted.

The player who's the 1^st in the most categories is... Changedaworld, being first in 25 game modes.

The player who's the 2^nd in the most categories is... SilverDog, being second in 25 game modes.

The player who's the 3^rd in the most categories is... Dagod, being third in 32 game modes.

The player who's the 4^th in the most categories is... Sammyboi, being fourth in 9 game modes.

The player who's the 5^th in the most categories is... Sammyboi too, being fifth in 12 game modes.

Out of all 225 All-Time top-5s times, 66 were improved, including 20 World Records !

Now, here is a chart showing the Evolution of the total number of World Records in February :

And finally, here is a chart showing the Evolution of the Sum of World Records during February:

In conclusion, this month has been surprising. What happened between February 17th and February 20th was very unexpected. As I predicted, the 330-seconds barrier was broken, but more surprisingly, the 320-seconds one too. It maybe seems like this could go below 300 seconds one day. Almost one minute was cut off of the All-Time top-5s sum again, so that's pretty neat. Changedaworld also managed to be the first player to have had the World Record at some point in every old leaderboard in February. Maybe Dagod will achieve to be on all 45 leaderboards in March ? Now, I think the 310-seconds barrier will be broken in March, and maybe the 35-minutes one for the sum of All-Time top-5s. It seems like nothing is finished yet, and a lot of improvements can still be done !
