One other interesting voting anomaly (don't worry, this has absolutely nothing to do with who has what votes, or even sour grapes, green grapes, or any grapes at all really):

×There are currently 15 votes of ten as I am writing this. Two people have no 10 votes meaning that they either didn't vote 10 for themselves, or accidentally voted 10 for someone else, thinking it was them. If you take out a 10 vote for each of the 11 people who do have 10s, ie the 10 they voted for themselves, you are left with 4 actually 10s. What is interesting about this is that it means that most people are not using a full 10 point scale. I suppose you could say that a 10 represents perfection, and is thus unattainable, but then you would think that would make 1 the polar opposite, and also unattainable, and yet there are 11 votes of 1. And there should be 12, only I messed up one of my votes. Which brings me to my point for writing this. By using, say, a 7 point scale, of only 3-10 (like I inadvertently did), you lower your net effect of voting. That is, the difference between your favorite and least favorite is smaller than someone who uses the full 10 point scale. So in this case my votes actually have a lesser effect on the overall voting than someone who used the full range. Just a thought.
