You can select 0-6 algorithms which you think will be
selected (positive tally).
You can also select 0 to 11 algorithms which you think
will NOT be selected (negative tally).
You get one point for each correct (positive or negative) guess. You
lose one point for each wrong guess!
Vote by cipher number (see the tally
(by voter) page to get an idea).
