---|---|---|---|
Complexity | Easy | Moderate | Hard |
Quality | Average | Good | Excellent |

Popularity | Your mom read it | Your friends liked it | It's viral |
Bonus | Get 5 bonus points for completing 3 or more articles |
Definitions
- Complexity: Get more points for tackling harder problems. We know a complex how-to takes more work, so the more complex the task - the more points you get.
- Quality: Writing style, spelling, sentence structure. They're all important! Write a smart, appealing, and clear article, and you'll reap the rewards.
- Detail: The devil is in the details. Score points for adding details like bolt sizes, part numbers, torque ratings, photos, and image annotations that help point out the important stuff.
- Popularity: Sharing will help us see how useful it is to other car owners. The more unique human visitors your article gets per day, the more points you get.
- Bonus: By writing 3 or more complete articles, you'll unlock a few bonus points that may give you the edge.
We'll contact our winners on December 13th by email. Remember to keep tabs on your inbox that day!
