The sum of my best answers and other answers is always 99%. What happens to that last percent?

When Yahoo's computer divides your answers to figure out the percent, it probably comes to - for example - 19.3% and 80.7% but they don't show the decimal points, so you only see the 19% and 80%, which add up to 99%.

The government gets it - just like when taxes are 1/2 a percent!@~

It does that to me too. If you look though usually when you roll over your name your percent increases by 1% and then they add up.

Removed questions and answers. You are still charged points but not given credit.

So is mine.
Actually, mine is inaccurate most of the time.
If you do the divison, my best answer percentage should really be 20%.
