If I recall correctly, it's not possible to actually be in the 100th percentile because your own score is included in the comparison group. The highest percentile you can have is 99. Just a little math trivia.

All three of mine show 100%. Just a bit of rounding trivia. - 0074b507, Jul 10, 2011

For example, let's say your percentile is 90 for reputation. I think that means that you have a reputation higher than 90 percent of the other members.

This thread discusses this topic.

This thread may also be of some help.

I believe you mean "exclamation mark" and "backwards". Both can be found at the bottom of your text box. Or you could use an international keyboard, only if you're really interested and commited to spanish, for it can be a hassle.
