    The inspiration for this question came from:

    ...

    The number of Points (won) - 599 - for me near the top of the Question of the Day Breakdown table does not match my Score - 603 - at the bottom of the Question of the Day table. I have no idea why they differ. It may have nothing to do with the answers in this question. But it did get me thinking about designing for data consistency so I thought I'd submit the question.

    Ah, so I'm not the only whose points don't match 😀

    It is not necessarily a redundancy issue, if those points are calculated facts. But that means they are calculated twice, and one of them has an error in the calculation...

    Could it be due to points being given back for questions we missed in the past due to bad wording of QOTD questions? Maybe there are two places it needed to be updated but only one was.
