All community voting histograms are in the summaries each week:

And the last three are:

This is the major difference between the two lists in terms of ranking. There is clear and near-total agreement on the community vote that Rasmus Sandin and Timothy Liljegren are virtually tied for second place with Matt Knies a separate full ranking point behind them.

For reference, its graph looks like this:

So while there were a decent number of people who voted Knies second or third, note the Y-axis variations and compare his ~70 second-place votes to Liljegren’s ~80 and Sandin’s ~125.

That’s all for the moment. Sometimes, in the dead of winter, we’ll revisit this list to see where we hilariously went wrong. Until then, the T25 season is officially closed. Don’t forget that the group is still listed at the top of the page under “Sections”, so if you ever want to browse old posts, they’re easy to find.
