The dives have a multiplier attached graded by difficulty.
The diver has the choice between an easy dive which he/she is likely to perform perfectly with a low multiplier or a harder dive with a larger one. The more elements to a dive the higher it's multiplier.
Seven judges rate the jump by the quality it was performed at, the two highest and two lowest are disregarded and the remaining total is multiplied by the jump's score.
The easiest dive is 1.2 so if the diver gets all 10s he gets (10 + 10 +10) x 1.2 = 36 points.
A hard dive would probably be 4.8. Perfect execution would garner 144 points.
But if that same dive goes wrong and gets 5s from the judges it looks as if they prefer easy ones but that dive would still score a total of 15 x 4.8 = 72 points or double the easiest dive with perfect 10s.
