Joker Stats

A preserved TriviaStats post about joker strategy, creator bias, and the original score-distribution plots for every player.

First, load the trivia_stats.R source file, which contains all functions for generating statistics:

source("trivia_stats.R")

Joker Table

This chart takes into account both the creator’s average round difficulty and your own bias toward or against that creator to give you an overall sense of how much better than average you tend to do on rounds made by that creator, and therefore who you should pick to joker today.

Estimated Score Per Round = Average Score + Round Difficulty + Bias

joker_table_heatmap()
Archived widget note. The original post used interactive Plotly heatmaps for the joker tables and coefficient charts. This trivia-site version preserves the structure and the original static figure set, while leaving those widget-heavy sections as archived notes instead of embedding the legacy htmlwidget runtime.

Joker Scores Using Personal Judgement

This chart shows how many points a player does, on average, on their joker round than on the average round. It was meant to be read alongside the joker table above.

Percentage of Correct Jokers

This chart shows the percentage of time a player selects the correct round to joker, meaning the round they ultimately scored highest on.

correct_joker_plot()

The post also tracks the percentage of nights where the winner would have changed if jokers had not been in play.

Ichigo and Chris Coefficients

These charts show how many points a player’s judgement score would increase or decrease if they had simply copied Ichigo’s or Chris’s joker round every week.
