It's your Maths that need adjusting JSOP has 1 x +5 votes + Guns

Why do you think it was me that gave him the +5 in the first place?
|
|
|
|
|
These maths are correct in the JSOP space-time.
Or you have been a victim of the weighting of the votes: Your 5 has more weight than three newbies' 5s. Call that shooting yourself in the foot.

I figured that out (my foot still aches), but it still seems skewed too far the wrong way.

But he's not as powerful as me.

I think more Julian Clary or possibly Alan Carr.

Do Americans have any idea what either of those are?

There must be something I'm better at - apart from putting foot in mouth!

Are you at least a reasonably good shot?

I haven't fired a gun, pistol or rifle for nearly forty years but I wasn't too bad at that time.

It's kinda like the Shrodinger's Cat paradox - you're still good at it until someone observes otherwise.

It's hard for me to tell what happened at the time but it seems to be ordering correctly now. Chances are it was a caching issue.
For reference, the ordering of answers is:
ORDER BY IsAcceptedAnswer DESC, Score DESC, DatePosted ASC

You forgot IsJSOP (and I'll understand completely if you think that sort condition should follow immediately after IsAcceptedAnswer )...

It's all changed now because scores have changed and another solution has been accepted, but seems reasonable based on your criteria.
BTW I can't believe someone downvoted you for the above comment.

I'm sure the person in question has his reasons.

Whoever it was is probably the person that downvoted me as well a little further up.

A very small reason...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
