This is a chance for moderators to conduct a social experiment: let people speculate in this thread for two days before revealing what it is. Just to see what crazy theories people come up with! :)

I like it. Crowdsourcing your ideas. A meta-MVP.

And after two days it turns out it's a random number.

A random number that goes up when you upvote..

Maybe it's the likeliness of a story to appeal to you, based on your past votes?

Of course, now the percentages are gone.

you're just lucky!
