I came in 63rd place witch is excllent for me. 5.628
62nd place also had 5.628

If i add all my scores up I get 18.371
when i added 62nd place it was 16.292

is it a mistake or am I wrong? Like i said, not good at math.

You dont just add them up, you have to add them up and the divide by the total number of votes (which is probably different for each photo in a large challenge). This finds the average. If you do this in Excel, it will give you a very accurate average.
