You just now got the results of that in? They were slow.

Well, you could probably put a weight on them next time. Something inversely proportional to the time they've been on the list. If they've been a long time on the list, it's possible that's just because a big new game hasn't come along to knock it off, but hits have been declining. Whereas a new big game probably gets a flurry of hits when first released.

Maybe you could also use something else to weigh the results? Average review score, perhaps?

I don't think I'd want to do it, though. I doubt the reward would be worth the work. I mean, if you were being paid only minimum wage for the time it takes to check the page with the info, and keep tabs on everything, set up a spread sheet, apply the weights, etc., and did it for a year, how much would you have made? I don't know, but possibly more than the reward of the prize they're giving out. Then again, maybe not, since I have no idea what the prize is.
