UMAX was unbelievable. Predicted 99.85 ... which was exactly what I got. >.<

SAM was a little disappointing. It predicted 99.75 UAI, which wasn't too far off I suppose. =3

Does anyone know the difference in the calculation methods used by each of the calculators? They're all based on the same underlying UAC scaling statistics, so why is it that they can be sometimes significantly different from each other?
