So i recently started to play eve again and sure enough, a lot of new cool things to look at. the first i stumpled upon was Project Discovery and got into it pretty quickly, but something that bothers me is when i categorize the sample and get 0 accuracy points / % for analyzing it 100%.

for example:

Can someone clarify this for me as to why this happens?

The percentages are based on what the community has come up with (so 100% of people think it's that option). You only gain accuracy rating when you get a green check mark. These are "test" ones that are put in that have already been decided by the scientists behind this mini-game.

It used to be that you'd get points for agreeing with the community, but they recently changed it. Waaayyyyy too many people were just choosing cytoplasm for every one and it was skewing the accuracy.

Not any more.

You only get an accuracy change on the test images, not community consensus ones.

Just also learned today, you can't get higher than 99% in accuracy either. Love this mini-game!
