I had 6% on my best answered questions, i went back to my profile page and i have 5%?

Question

how did i loose a point?

Answer 1

YOU answered more questions but your best answers stayed the same.

Its the percentage, not a point.

Lets say you have answered 100 questions and have 6 best answers, you have 6% best answered.

But if you answered, 20 questions more, now you have 120 total answers, and still 6 best answers.. which would be 6 / 120 = 5 %

Answer 2

you answered more questions that you didn't get best answer for...

Answer 3

because you must have answered more questions, for percentage goes down

Answer 4

You answered another question which did not give you a BA; thus lowering your percentage.

Answer 5

You answered mopre questions but still had the same number of best answers

Answer 6

you apparently have answered more questons which weren't best answers

Eg. Say you have answered 100 questions, and 25 were best answers, therefore, 25% of your questions were best answers.

Then after a while, you note that you have answered 200 questions in total, but you still only have 25 best answers. In this case, the pecentage would've dropped to 12.5%, explaining your percentage drop.

Answer 7

the less best answers u get the lower it gets  

Answer 8

if you answered more questions the percentage will fall

Answer 9

They're percents, not points.

You've answered more questions that haven't been chosen as best answer, thus increasing the ratio on the side of non-best answers

For example, perhaps you had 94 regular answers and 6 best answers.

Then you answered 6 more questions.

Now you have 100 regular answers and still only 6 best answers.

That changes the ratio, thereby changing your percentage.

Answer 10

very simple, you are answering questions and not getting the same relationship of best answers.

Answer 11

Did you answer more questions within the time it went from 6 to 5 percent? If so,  that's how.
