First of all I want say a big thanks to the steemit team for bringing these learning challenges free of cost and supporting the participants.

I am confuse in something. I got 40% upvote from @steemcurator01 and it became around 31.59 STU.

But another account which recieved 29% upvote and its value became 39.78.

Is it because that my post is near the payout?

Sorry in advance while disturbing you @steemitblog, @steemcurator01, @steemecurator02 but I need some information about this. Means if my post is near to payout then the upvote value will be low and can we overcome this problem by providing any new post instead of that which is about to expire in the next few hours?
