See each balloons sent is a entry in the database with 4 options in the status and with the Sender ID and Recipient ID
0 = Pending
1 = Correct
2 = Incorrect
3 = Cancelled (meaning Reclaimed)
In total there were about 200,000 balloons sent.
So its like when you send the balloon it is marked as 0 (Pending)
When answered: Correct would mean 1 and Incorrect would mean 2
If unanswered and reclaimed that balloon is marked as 3 (Reclaimed)
So there is no calculation as such there and the system just needs to counts the correct & incorrect entries.
Cheers,

Ok, in that case where was the error in the initial program because as soon as i got an answer wrong it added a balloon to my account...and as soon as a friend that i splash got an answer wrong, it deducted. In which case original calculation of 160 net - leaving me with 40 makes more sense. I am not arguing against you. Please understand that i am trying to put together what people are frustrated about in more coherent terms, that is all.
I see your point...but like i said earlier, statistically the 1 & 2 are not adding up...are you sure that the system is not multiplying the code with the number? So that it becomes 0*pending + 1*correct + 2*incorrect + 3*unclaimed - i am not challenging you just checking... 😃
