The best I achieved on the probe with predictions removed is:
RMSE 0.9897

For the following equation:
R = -2.58797372 + 0.95682133*M + 0.7606549*U

Where:
R = predicted rating
M = movie average
U = user average

class Mix(MovieAverage,UserAverage):
'''Returns the average of L{MovieAverage} and L{UserAverage}.
This algorithm returns an RMSE score of ?? on the scrubbed dataset.
'''

def __call__(self, movie_id, user_id):
return (
-2.58797372 + 0.95682133*MovieAverage.__call__(self,movie_id,user_id) +
0.7606549*UserAverage.__call__(self,movie_id,user_id)
)
