So under this system the 2nd from the left is the "best", the first on the left is ranked as the second best, etc? God why are these systems so hard for me to grasp

correct. this is opposed to the goofy method, which is:

corresponding rating for person #1 (farthest to left), corresponding rating for person #2 (2nd left), and so on.

so if i had 2,1,3,4, it would mean: farthest to left = 2nd hottest, 2nd farthest to left = 1st hottest, and so on.

I continue to be a staunch Goofy System supporter.

Reason: You naturally scan the ratings left to right, and can then intuitively look at the pic and know where they fall.

In this alternate system, you have to read the rating, look at the pic, and then count positions.

Agree. I think I like the Goofy System better. Just rate them by position left to right with 1 being your #1 choice etc. this makes more sense to me.

goofy method still makes no sense to me http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...0&postcount=75

gtfo goofy system supporters. **** makes no sense!

Wait what? Your post is describing the method I like. Is that not the goofy method? Wtf I'm so confused. Just go from left to right and rate them 1 to 4 with 1 being your top choice, right?

correct sir

goofy system is the first picture described in that post (the WRONG WAY)

lol god it's so confusing. i don't know. goofy even messed up the pole in that thread which imo has made this situation worse.

I don't know what it's called but I like this method:



and not this



also it's kinda messed up that these girls are in middle school, lol. I don't remember thinking that in 2008, getting old

calling it the goofy method puts emphasis on its chief advocate when emphasis should really be on its simplicity, clarity and logical basis

how about: best method

THIS

how about:

Whatever the f it's called, i like the first method better. I agree that we should either call it the simple method or the best method.

First method is the goofy system and shall heretofore be the only system recognized by the state of California.

Griffin, do you take requests for the blog? I am living vicariously through you ATM as I do not have the time or means to cook super nice things.

The goofyballer method is easiest and efficient, therefore is law IMO

the first method in keysers example is clearly the right one. idk if that's goofy or non-goofy, but goddamnit it's right!

It's a definite possibility. What were you thinking?

I was actually thinking of doing these

I suggest something photogenic like whole trout or something.


**** it, I'll do it myself!

looks solid

I was curious if you'd tried to do any corned beef or pastrami type thing yet. With the sous vide (if I understand what it does correctly), seems like it would be awesome for that type of stuff.

So I've not yet done corned beef sous vide, but it's a really interesting idea. I tried corning my own beef a while back, and while it turned out good, it took up a lot of room in the fridge, and was a bit dry for some reason. My local butcher actually does a good corned beef and artery pumps it (which not that many places do these days), so I think I've corned my last brisket.

Pastrami would be a little more difficult as it's just corned beef that's been smoked (for the most part), and as my smoker game isn't quite perfected as of yet, I've not tried any pastrami related experiments.

I definitely like the corned beef idea and will have to give it a shot.

You are all scholars and gentlemen.

Don't worry, I think your system is crap.

Binary system is the best. 1=yes 0=no. That's all that really matters.

the man raises a good point
