As I was looking through the results of the Deep DOF challenge I noticed a pattern in the votes from "Average Vote per Users w/out Cameras".
All the votes ended in .000, meaning there was only one person who voted in the members challenge without owning a camera. I looked back a few challenges and he did the same on the Threes challenge, but none before.
I wonder who this guy is and if he realizes he is the only one in that catagory!
Also, he seemed pretty generous with his voting too. I didn't see any score below a 5...

| wouldn't ten people without cameras in total agreement with each other have the same result? |

sure. any number in total agreement would have the same result. but how likely are you going to find even two in total agreement? |

How about two people - 1 votes 4, the other 6 or, ten people where 5 vote 4 and 5 vote 6, or 5 people where 2 vote 3, 1 votes 4 and 2 vote 5, or any of a million other possibilities rendering a .000 outcome. :-)

Strictly speaking an average vote of 0.00 is as likely as a vote of 6.47 or any other number you can think of. But because zero is such a recognisable number we notice it more.

There's not necessarily just one. Probably "one or a few". For instance if the average is 5.000, it could be the result of one 5 or one 4 and one 6, or one 4, one 5, and one 6, etc.
The fact that most are X.000 does lead to the conclusion that there are in fact very few "no camera" votes in the members' challenges. You'd expect that; the benefits of paid membership require a camera.
