I discovered this wiki selfishly many years ago. Khan Academy very fun and was exciting when I first completed the World of Math. Soon after doing that, and finishing all of the videos (yes, I was caught up on videos at one time) I decided to try to "max" my energy points.

I did this by trying to get speed badges in all of the exercises. Doing research trying to find efficent ways to do this led me to Peter Collingridge's "What Badge Next" App. This sated my interest for awhile, but then I began to wonder if I might have the most points on the planet!

Therefore I searched for "energy points" and "black hole badges" and eventually found this wiki. At that time, the "old-timers" (Cdragon, Tibet, Light Runner, Virus, 4DPro, and others) were interacting on the site almost daily and so I watched for a bit and participated where I could, first as an anonymous contributor, then later was inspired to make my own account.

After establishing my own account I became addicted to "creating exercise pages" which encouraged me to think of ways to excel on the exercises on Khan Academy and earn more speed badges (and provide tips to others).

Eventually I found out I had no hope of having the most points ever because there were too many other amazing people which I was fortunate to meet on this wiki!

And this is the short version of "How I came here!" I am very glad to have found this, and hope to be hear for long into the future!
