I recently noticed that my Avg. Vote Received number seemed a little lower than I thought it should be.
I tried adding the avg. vote from each challenge entered, and divided the sum by the number of entries.
My number was somewhat higher than what is posted in my profile. Am I missing something??
Just curious.

I'm betting they're totalling the votes and then dividing by *number of votes*, not by number of challenges.

I've found that it also takes quite a while for these stats to be updated, up to a week after a challenge has closed.

This is right. Because some challenges have more images than others, these have a greater effect towards the total average.
