The scoring is weird. It places your final result on a scale from 0 to 99, but just hitting Submit without changing anything produces a score in the 800-1100 range, and my "Highest score for your gender and age range" is 1520. Why doesn't the scale reflect actual values? How could someone score substantially worse than random?

...I think something is wrong with their best/worst scores, actually. About 80% of the age/gender brackets say the best is 0 and the worst is 1520, and that consistency is weird to begin with, but some have really dramatic outliers. Women aged 50-59 range from negative 162 to 410,378,090!
