Someone is vote-rigging. I voted this up and it is currently at 0. Presumably the intention is that you vote up the answer you believe is correct and do not vote down the answer you believe is wrong otherwise this poll will stay at zero for both answers.

I saw it go up and then back down and hoped it was just someone miss-clicking. Shameful. Luckily, the person is also stupid: if you wait for there to be a lot of votes no one will notice. Everyone should consider this answer to have one more vote than it does.

The karma going up, and then back down could - in theory - represent a withdrawn vote, or someone changing their mind.

Could be. I figured not meaning to vote was more likely than a mind-change in the span of like 10 ten seconds on a math problem we've been talking about for days.
