Where did the 1% go?

Ok, right now, if I go into my profile and look at "my stats" it gives a persentage value of the questions I've answered (91%), and the questions I've answered which have been voted as best (8%).

Now I'm no math professor, but doesn't that add up to only 99%? So where is the missing 1%?

Look at you own. Is it the same?

I may have to take this to Dave and Jerry!!!!...LOL.

Take care everyone. Have fun.

    oh mine does the same. maybe it's they're rounding off for percentage. rather give people 101%, they will always have less than 100%

    Answers use a whole number so the 1% that was missing was the round off portions.

    no ones adds up to 100% because the 1% is the questions that are not resolved yet and also the questions that you just answered,basically its a round off of all your answers

    it's simply rounded off to the nearest whole percent.
