AI Thread Summary
A user is developing a spreadsheet to compare various cryptocurrencies using nine criteria, each normalized to a score of 0-5 points. They seek guidance on how to assign weights to these criteria based on their importance for ranking investments. The criteria include factors such as the type of coin, project idea, prototype availability, team quality, market cap, return on investment since listing, listing duration, advisors, and community support. A suggestion was made to utilize the sumproduct() function for calculating weighted scores. The discussion emphasizes the need for a systematic approach to weight assignment in investment analysis.

I am trying to make a spread sheet that compares different investments (cryptocurrencies). So far each investment has 9 criteria. I have normalized each criteria to be worth 0-5 points. I would like to be able to rank each investment based on their total score depending on different criteria. I need to assign weights to different criteria but what is the correct method of assigning weights based on level of importance? Please help.

example: below are the criteria i am using listed in order from most important to least important.
Type of coin, idea, is there a prototype?, team, market cap, roi since listing, months since listing, advisors, community
coin:

Pretty hard to say what you can do, based on the very vague description.

Have you met the sumproduct() function?
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
