One of them even told me that she knows how the "algorithm" works! What does that even mean?! I don't get it.

Hi KoalaBear,
Yoou contribute to your contest at a much higher rate than your neighbors do because of the way it is set up. This might explain it:


How points are calculated:

• Each XP your neighbour earns contributes 1 point.
• Each XP you earn, will contribute as many points as the number of neighbours you have participating in the contest.

  Example:

  • If you have 100 neighbours in the contest and each of them earn 1 XP, then your neighborhood score will be 1 * 100 = 100 points.
  • Then if you earn 1 XP yourself, this will add 1 * 100 = 100 points to your neighborhood score.
  • 100 (your neighbours score) plus 100 (your score) gives you a total score of 200.

  
  This makes your individual effort as important as the total combined effort of all your neighbours in the contest.

So it seems like they are not contributing high enough amounts compared to what you are contributing.
