New Member and Country Computer Trivia Leaderboards
Thanks to Akshay, who helped me write the core MySQL queries, we now have two new draft leaderboards, by (1) member and by (2) country:
Code:

Currently milhan leads the members with a high score of 90%:
Russia leads the country leaderboard with 74%:
This are just "first draft" leaderboards. To make the member leaderboard, members need over 10 questions answered and to make the country leaderboard, a country needs over 200 questions answered.
Someday, I will draft a leaderboard for guests based on a hash of their IP addresses, but for this week, I'm done.
Thanks again, Akshay for writing the core MySQL queries.
