    People vote for the answer they like most. You can vote for your own answer if you like.

    You get : ---

    2 points for answering a question,

    1 point for voting for an answer

    10 points if your answer is voted as the best answer (ie your answer gets more votes than any other answer)

    So the one with 26% has about 1 in 4 answers voted as "best answer"

    5% is only 1 in 20.

    That makes a huge difference.
