Meanings

What does "pass" mean at the bottom of the classification page where there is only 4?

It's the minimum number of times any given image has been compared to another image. Classifications / Images / 2, always rounded down. Roughly. It takes a little more than that for the pass to go up because the images are selected at mostly-random.

Looks like we're about to move up to pass 5 in 100-50,000 classifications! It'll be nice to see that number going up.

From the previous link: [results] From Phase 1: ~1600 volunteers, ~13k images, 320k classifications (clicks), 50/image
