Alfons, wait just a second. We might have a small misstep (not a mistake). SoleSurvivor was not protesting about the deduction. He was protesting about the usage of the word "total".

I checked the word, and the word "summation."

The thing is, Sole fully understood the deduction, so no need to chastise him. But he protested that when you edited my reply post about Kaaitlyn cheating, you misused the word "total." I initially thought that we will subtract the 5000 points from the average. But after seeing the definition, I now believe that we had an oversight in word usage.

My point is, given with this definition, we should have deducted the 5000 points from the sum, not the average. Sorry about the confusion. Due to this, challenge will resume until its supposed deadline, 7pm EST.
