That would be interesting. Plus, as has been noted already, it's not 
even an "average score" - it's the average of some numbers given by some 
people on their own 1-10 rankings. I've just been playing now for a 
while and my scores aren't matching the "average"s hardly at all. So 
either my idea of the 1-10 scale is markedly different from other 
people's (I can't see why it would be, but hey), it's being gamed again 
with low scores, or something else.

P.S. Bug report - portrait photos don't seem to fit in the frame, and
