Ah, Rule of Thirds. The scores are only equal if you stop at 3 decimal places.

I think they're completely equal and you just got 2nd place because it goes by alphabetical order. man you got hosed.

It'll still bump you up to 1st place, but you only have 42 minutes left to change your username.Message edited by author 2006-09-13 00:12:40.

He does have the same score!!! Wow....maybe they rank by the "3" types of voters....anyone see a connection?

lol yeah I was kidding...it's probably just both rounded to the same score. They're probably different...although...
If you want, just take your voting screens, add up all the different numbers, then divide by the total votes. I'll do that for you...gimme a few minutes.

It's not the first time, and they are probably ordered this way because the complete vote computation is carried out to more than the three decimal places displayed on the photo page.
I believe in the only instance where the votes were completely identical we awarded (red -- a tie for second in that case) co-ribbons.
Unless Langdon's up and checking we won't know anything more definitive until tomorrow.
