Ever wanted to know how well you did in a life in cold numerical terms?
For whatever reason, I thought it would be amusing to write a tool to do just
that. So I did. It, and an explanation of the calculation, can be found here:

This is a quick hack rather than anything serious. Do with it as you will.

Funny I was just thinking about how odd it was Jason did not add a point system this morning before reading this post. An interesting way to score.. any reason for choosing 40 as the scoring age?

My first thought was to score a relation's life as
relatedness * max(0, (age - 20)/40)
so their life starts to count at age 20, and only counts fully if they die
from old age. But I decided that was overly complicated and fiddly, so went
for an single age at which a life counts as a success.
To decide on a number, I divided the height of the pyramid of Khufu by the
cube of its basal area, added the ratio of the longest and shortest planetary
orbits, multiplied by the extent to which the above has any relevance, added
the meaning of life, and subtracted the standard number of bollocks.
As for whether making it to 40 really means you win (in real life too), I'll
leave that open for discussion.
