I have been catching up on my reading here and noticed something odd. Above eighteen votes, the Average Score calculator is randomly rounding some scores way up on non-straight votes. Some examples from various categories:
nineteen 5's / one 4 = 4.95 > shows as 5
twenty-two 5's / one 4 = 4.96 > shows as 5
twenty-four 5's / one 4 = 4.96 > shows as 5
twenty-seven 5's / one 4 = 4.96 > shows as 5
twenty-nine 5's / one 4 = 4.97 > shows as 5
but
twenty-one 5's / one 4 = 4.95 > shows as 4.95
twenty-five 5's / one 4 = 4.96 > shows as 4.96
Just to be sure it wasn't a cycle lag, I've waited a few days before posting this. Also, none of these are mine as I haven't broken that ceiling yet.
Given that some readers here use these scores for story selection, it seems that they should be accurate in fairness to all the writers. Is there some other factor past simple math involved? Do I need to find a hobby?
