Posted April 13, 201510 yr Welcome to the TV Ratings Prediction Game! There are 10 programmes to predict - with ratings given to two decimal places. The correct ratings for the purpose of this game are those provided by Digital Spy (i.e. tape-checked but not including +1 figures). You'll receive 10 points for a perfect prediction, and 9 points if you are 100k out, 8 points if you are 200k etc. until you reach 1 point for 900k out. For example, if "Death In Paradise" rated 6.66m - this rounds to 6.7m. If you predicted any number which rounds to 6.7 (i.e. 6.66-6.74m), you would receive 10 points. If you predicted rounds to 6.8 or 6.6 you receive 9 points etc. until 7.6 and 5.8, which would receive 1 point. If you get an exact prediction to two decimal places, you receive a bonus 2 points in addition to the regular points. For example if you predicted 6.66m you would receive 12 points. I hope that hasn't confused anyone! Much more straight forward, there are three bonus questions which could earn you 5 points for each correct question. ---- 10 programmes to predict this week The Leader Interviews [Monday at 7:30pm]: X.XXm viewers University Challenge [Monday at 8pm]: X.XXm viewers Back In Time for Dinner [Tuesday at 8pm]: X.XXm viewers Newzoids [Wednesday at 9pm]: X.XXm viewers The Delivery Man [Wednesday at 9:30pm]: X.XXm viewers BBC Election Debate 2015 [Thursday at 8pm]: X.XXm viewers Question Time [Thursday at 10:45pm]: X.XXm viewers The FA Cup Semi-Final [saturday at 5:05pm]: X.XXm viewers Atlantis [saturday at 7:45pm]: X.XXm viewers Britain's Got Talent [saturday at 8pm]: X.XXm viewers Celebrity Squares [sunday at 7:15pm]: X.XXm viewers Bonus Questions 1.
