Small Puzzle Scoring Adjustment

Hey everyone,

As a result of some of the feedback we've had, we're adjusting how points are given out when puzzles close.

The current function for calculating points is:

Points = Max(1, RoundUp((1 - (Rank / (NumPlayers - 1)))^6) * TotalPoints)

We are adjusting the exponent (currently 6) to be 5. What this will mean is that there will be slightly less of a point difference between the top spots in a puzzle, and more of the lower ranks will get more than 1 point.

We're fairly confident that the best value for the exponent is still below 5, but for now, we're progressing slowly to gather feedback.
