Our talking point show for last week was done on Friday 22nd September, 2023. Due to some difficulties, we could not announce the prizes the next day as we always do. We appologize for that. Now we are delighted to announce the prizes distribution
The host for the show was 
Starting from this 8th edition of #talkingpoint, the show is now a proper contest. So unlike when we use to share an equal amount of leo to everyone no matter their rate of participation, we now reward participants based on how much engagement they generated. This will create fairness and ensure that participants are rewarded based purely on effort.
Because we are doing this for the first time, it will be nice to explain how the rewards are distributed.
So here are the steps we took to arrive at a fair rewards distribution formula:
1. We took a screenshot of the threads leaderboard 1 hour after the show officially ended to capture the total threads number for each participant.
2. We added the total number of threads of all participants.
3. We calculated a percentage of each persons number with regards to the total.
4.* We then distributed leo to each person based on their percentage.
Here is a sample of the process for one of the pariticipants
For sammyhive reward
Total number of threads made by all participants: 392
So 103 is what percentage of 392? 26%
Important note: We used the whole number of the percentage. The fraction part was ignored.
So
