Does Y!A employ the mathematically challenged??

Question

By my calculations, my Best Answer percentage has been been 13-14% in recent weeks, but Y!A never shows me above 11%.   
Anybody else find themselves being short-changed?

I think I know what happened to your right answers.  This guy has them:  http://answers.yahoo.com/my/profile;_ylt=AgHzecEyH6ey3VGKoJnC157sy6IX;_ylv=3?show=0660899d296be4511cb380c5bcfec22daa

Well, you have answered a total of 566 (at the time of my writing this post) on this account.  

What you've done in current weeks is really irrelevant.  It's the average that counts.  So, perhaps you had an average lower than 11% for a long time, and just now you're rebounding.  

I don't feel that my score is short-changed.

You may also notice that the sum of the percentage of best answers and non-best answers is always 99%. It would be interesting to find out what's happening to the other 1%.

Wow, I never thought to check. BRB


OK, in my case, they say 17% and the actual total is 0.176455886 so, almost 18% but I guess, for me, they are reasonably close.
