I think I could manage to get below 9.0 in an ice-skating competition...
Why All Scorers Should Subtract N-1 And Multiply By 10: When faced with giving ‘scores’ of any sort, humans simply don’t seem to distribute the ‘scoring’ numbers in any sort of rational, efficient way. The most glaring place to spot this deficiency is in scoring of aesthetic sports such as diving, gymnastics or ice skating. Let’s say the ice skating scoring has a max of 10.0 points: even the worst imaginable performance will still probably get around an average 9.0 score. As long as you don’t, like, fall asleep in the middle of the performance, you basically get the first 9.0 points for free.
