Your pi score is very good :)

If you pass me it'll give me some incentive to practice pi again. It's my weakest of the five competitions so a faster score would be nice. Numbers are hard haha

Nice progression since 2019, well done :)
And you're still young, you can still improve!

But you don't need to multiply by 1.2 the score of Pi.
CPM = characters per minute
WPM = words per minute

I assumed 1 word = 6 characters when I created Typing Zone, because it was a standard in France at this time.
Then I made the site more international.
In English they always assume 1 word = 5 characters (because English words are shorter) but I had to keep the same system for legacy.
So that's why you multiply by 1.2 but only for WPM.
