Hi Joe,

It likely has to do with rounding.  That 5.0 is likely a 4.999 or 
something.  So there is floor/ceiling silliness that isn't really 
apparent from the reports.  I think there are also scenarios where the 
rounding / display is done differently and I unified that code in the 
trunk a year or so ago.

Regards,
KAM


Thanks.  For now I just changed the scores to n.1 just for fun.
