After every challenge the first thing I look at is the Avg participants VS participants voting breakdown, never seems to amaze me - or maybe it shouldn't since most things don't surprise me anymore.
But below was the vote breakdown for the portrait challenge on my image. 
Is there anyway we can actually find out how many participants actually vote on any particular challenge? Just curious.
Place: 2 out of 15
Avg (all users): 6.4286
Avg (participants): 5.7000
Avg (non-participants): 6.8333 |

The number of participant votes is ((Avg_tot-Avg_nonpart)/(Avg_part- Avg_nonpart)*Total_votes. In your case, it was 10 participants and 18 non-participants

Thank you, but how do you work that out?
And if any other participants can tell me why they voted considerably lower on my image which probably was boring but I definitely met the challenge IMHO.

I dont always look at that breakdown, but often I will find the participant average is higher. I usually vote in the challenges I am entered in because I am curious
to see how others approached the topic.
My experience has been that wow factor has a greater effect on one's score than fitting everyone's interpretation of the topic without room for debate.I did not vote on that challenge or I'd give you some specific feedback on my vote.

Just a simple math :). If N is the total number of total votes and x is the number of participant votes, then the equation to solve is
x*Avg_part+(N-x)*Avg_nonpart=N*Avg_tot |

If you call that "simple math" then I'm not even a simpleton! Although, to be fair, I can do the math OK, it's the notation that poleaxes me. |
