 	<title>Computing the totals</title>
 	<p><app>gbrainy</app> keeps track of the different games types played. To compute the final score of every set of game types it sums all the results of the same game types played and then applies a factor based on the logarithm of 10 for the easy difficult level, 20 for the medium difficult level and 30 for master difficult level.</p>
 	<p>This means that to score 100% playing at medium difficult level you need to score 100% on at least 20 games of every game type played, 80 games in you have played all the games types.</p>.
