The 'accumulated more' percentage is not calculated correctly for the leader of a list. Logically it should say '100%', shouldn't it? It doesn't. See team stats in [url=http://www.boincstats.com/stats/user_graph.php?pr=pah&id=6984' target='_blank]http://www.boincstats.com/stats/user_graph...?pr=pah&id=6984[/url] (no, this isn't me). My guess would be that the current user is not removed from the list before calculation.

Hmm...there are 131 guys in there and 130/131=0.9923644...
maybe 131/131 would be better.. but that would give the last
guy 1/131 = 0.007633... ? I mean, who's behind him?

One has no more credits then oneself. So, if there is a team with 1 member, did that member accumulate more credits then any other teammember? No! He complete 0 credits more then his own credit, therefor he accumulated 0% more. A team with 2 members has 1 member that accumulated more then 50% (=1, the other member) of all members.

There are 31 members in the mentioned team.
30 / 31 = 0,96774193548387096774193548387097 * 100 = 96,774193548387096774193548387097 = 96.77%

Conclusion: This is not a bug.

You're right, Willy, in the strict sense that the text says 'Accumulated more Credit than % of team members'. If it had been 'Accumulated more Credit than % of OTHER team members', then 100% would be correct for the number 1. I still think this is the more logical point of view, but of course I respect your choice.

Well, I don't mind changing this, so lets count votes.

Who wants to change this from 'Accumulated more credit then % of team members' to 'Accumulated more credit then % of other team members'?

It seems not many people are losing sleep over this issue It is only a minor detail of course. And most of us don't have the luxury to be in pole position :cry:

Anyway Willy, greetings from a zuiderbuur ('neighbour from the south' for those very few of you who don't speak dutch)

I for one don't. I like it the way it is - it makes more sense that way to me.

And, next to that, it would have to read "0%" for a one-man team if you calculate "more than other team members", and that would look just plain painfull.

Gotta chuckle at this thread. We had this discussion a while back with the BOINC Stats E@H team! I was # 1 and I asked at the time about the more than issue. Of course my problem was solved when someone else joined the team and dropped me to #2. :wink:
