how does it work?
You can read detailed analysis of the (published) formula in 2009 in http://www.arcfn.com/2009/06/how-does-newsyc-ranking-work.ht...
And there are a lot of secret coefficient corrections, for example the number of flagging that the submission received and the number of comments (if it has too many comments, it is too polemic and it is pushed down.)
If we use the 2009 formula we get
Points(P) Time(H) (P-1)^.8/(H+2)^1.8 7 2 0.3457 141 15 0.3177
"if it has too many comments, it is too polemic and it is pushed down." well, this is surprising.
