Looks to me like they've applied some kind of heavy weighting penalty so it's already down to page 7.

I wonder how hard it would be to reverse engineer the penalty. You can easily poll to get points/time for stories and then probably use that to figure out the algorithm and any penalties/boosts (an old version seems to be documented).
