Questionable math

4 + 3 + 3 = 10
10/3 = 3.3

Not 3.2

You've never heard of the zeroeth law of mathematics that makes this work out?

BTW, what game is this for future reference?

4 + 3 + 3 = 10
10/3 = 3.3

Not 3.2

Geeez, how did you not know that? Simple math....

It's the new Common Core math standards.

Here I thought 1 + 1 = 2.

Yeah 100 posts.

Make it like Olympic figure skating where the lowest and highest scores don't count

2+2=5

obviously :P

Only if you play Destiny and Forza H2.

Edit: Okay, I shouldn't say never.

My theory was going to be that first there was the 3 and 4 star rating so the average was:

(3+4)/2 = 3.5

Then came the other 3 star rating which was averaged with the above average:

(3+3.5)/2 = 3.25

Which then was truncated to 3.2 instead of rounded to 3.3


Otherwise there may be a rating half life based on the instability of the person rating, and/or contain a coefficient of spam, but that gets a bit more complicated.
