Best Answer

Gymnastics is constantly getting more and more difficult and more advanced. Ever since the first perfect 10.00 score in 1976, gymnastics has been getting harder, yet the 10.00 score stayed the same. Eventually, it was realized that at some point 10.00 would no longer be that nearly impossible score, because the gymnastics skills had come up so far that the average was a perfect 10.00. So, with the new system of scoring, gymnastics can continually get more advanced without ever going too far. Gymnasts have a starting score according to the moves and difficulty of their routine, and are scored on how they compared to their starting score. It is hard for those of us who watch gymnastics to have to say good-bye to that perfect 10.00, but it will be better for the long run.

Can a country win the Olympics?

No, There is no system to score the Olympics. The Olympics itself is not a competition, but rather a group of competitions. There is no way to score the entire thing. News outlets will report things like medal count and total golds, but neither indicates anything about a wining or losing country. No country has ever won the Olympics, such a thing doesn't exist.

How often does your credit score change?

One's credit score is in a constant state of flux because any change in the credit report results in the bureau automatically recalculating your credit score. In general, assuming that one is not actively looking for new credit, is paying off their existing credit lines on time, is not growing balances and is not filing for bankruptcy, your score will change in a minor way every two-to-three (2-3) months.
