Improve this questionDoes anyone know the facemash algorithm that Mark Zuckerberg implemented in his facemash site? http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2003/11/19/facemash-creator-survives-ad-board-the/
Preferably in PHP & MySQL.
UPDATE:
As I said in the comments, I've added this algerithm to my new website. At first it seemed to work perfectly. But after some weird inputs some strange result began to form.
While debugging I figured out what I was doing wrong. When getting the score for a "direct relationship" (used in the indirect relationship too) between 2 nodes I added the scores together. This was wrong, the score of a direct relationship should be expressed in -1 to +1, where:
-1 = lost everything
+1 = won everything
So if A won 8 times to B, and B won 2 times to A the score should be:
(A wins) 8 + (B wins) 2 = (total matches)10
(delta of -1 and +1 =) 2 / (total matches)10 = (points per win) 0.2
Score of A vs B = (points per win) 0.2 * (wins) 8 - 1 = 0.6
Score of B vs A = (points per win) 0.2 * (wins) 2 - 1 = -0.4
Also I didn't mention this in the original explanation but it is all about triangles. So when we look at the indirect score, you don't need to go any further than 1 hop.
I don't know what algorithm was actually used for the real-world site, but what they write on the window in the movie is based on the Elo rating system, which originated in the chess world and is now also used in many other games.
I recreated it aswell check it out. Not sure about php but the C# class is

I used it on my
Facemash
Key press code is
$(document).keydown(function(event) {
if (event.keyCode == 37) {
//Voted Face 1
Rate("face1", false);
}
if(event.keyCode == 39) {
//Voted Face 2
Rate("face2", false);
}
});

No not here not anywhere on the web. The Facemash source code has never been released to the public. The only one, who might still have a copy is Mark Zuckerberg himself.
here is a clone of facemash available http://www.facemash.99k.org
I've recreated it as well, but in a WordPress plugin
