* Here is the email we got from Dave about pinball collection rankings:

* I like math and thought the discussion of the ranking of collections was interesting.  But I didn’t really like the ranking algorithm.  Try it again with my method.  Which is (#machines)*( 1 /( sumovermachines( 1/rank)))

* So if you have 5 machines that were the top 5 it is

* 5*(1/(1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5)) = 2.18

* And if it was 10-14

* 5*(1/(1/10 + 1/11 + 1/12 + 1/13  + 1/14))= 11.83

* Or like a real collection with some low ranked games

* 5*(1/(1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/150 + 1/200)) = 2.71

* So the low ranked games don’t dominate the result.  But if you don’t have any high ranked games you get a much lower ranking.

* 5(1/(1/150 + 1/200 + 1/210 +1/230 + 1/250)) = 201.8
