How does it work?

percenters.com uses your hardest questions to identify the smartest people on the web. Members who answer questions earn points based on each question's difficulty. Those who accumulate enough points are promoted to percenters.

The more percenters help, the higher they rank.

How Do We Determine a Question's Difficulty?

A question's difficulty, and its points, is calculated using a formula based on how people react to questions of differing levels of difficulty.

This algorithm assigns more points to your toughest questions and provides a greater incentive to help you in those areas where you need it most.

By giving people more points for these questions, we encourage members to help you with your toughest questions./p>
