Percentage found for US County maps exceeds 100%

Question

With the recent changes in Maps in Profile Stats, the Top Counties for a State is now showing the number of caches found in a particular county with a percentage next to it.  I think this percentage calculation is incorrect, as it is using a ratio of caches found per county / active caches in the county.   As a result, it is showing percentages greater than 100%.   For example, DrPflug is showing Travis County (TX): 5192 (181%)   while the Top Found Percent tool is showing him at 91.7 % of 2857 caches.   5192/2857 is 1.81 -> 181%.   This doesn't really seem to mean anything, since it is mixing units. 

Answer 1

The percentages was added to make it easier to see what level of color in relation to the dynamic requirement the user has, it would not make sense to have a different calculation for the percentages vs the dynamic requirements they are supposed to represent. More information about the dynamic requirements can be found in the wiki: https://project-gc.com/w/Maps_tab

The website should show some kind on verbiage as to why the 215% in my case. At face value, It looks like I logged every cache twice with no 'legend' until someone has to drill down in to a forum and to a wiki page.

@x_xenolith_x The wiki is the place to go if you see something you don't understand on Project-GC so I don't really see the problem there. I'm also just a user so if this is something you want Project-GC to read you should probably add this as a new feature request.

And well, since it's not possible to log caches twice and haven't been since May 8, 2017 I would hope that most people would not jump to the conclusion that you've logged every cache twice since that wouldn't make any sense... :)
