You've discovered VA math.
Scientists dating as far back as Copernicus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolaus_Copernicus have labored over these numbers with few answers. Some believe the statues on Easter Island http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_island were built to ponder just why VA would do such a thing.
They've been at it for untold centuries and still have the same blank, stunned look on their faces.
Personally I think the Combined Ratings Table was a sinister plot left by the aliens who built the pyramids and that VA found it in ancient hieroglyphic tablets buried deep in the sand but that’s a story for another day.
If you'll have a look in my A to Z Guide on this page, http://www.jimstrickland912.com/ you'll find a brief explanation about ratings and a link to the Combined Ratings Table. It often takes a bit of time and a lot of thought to figure the darn thing out but it's all there for you.
