In full disclosure I think I'm more confused about what the meaning of all these numbers are than the people that don't have them. Maybe Siri has the answer.

When posed the proper question, Siri has the answer to everything.

All this math talk now has me thinking this business is related to one of these upcoming calendar days; Leap Day (2/29) or Pi Day (3/14).

We have a few years to go to Pi Day. 3/14/15 (9:26:53).

Wow, she's good! Even faster than the abacus.

Back to the arrows. How come some numbers are changing and others are not (that's a rhetorical question of course, because of the NDA)?

Based on summarized feedback from involved members the product has a higher value now. We didn't saw changing numbers in the last day or two, quite stable.

Does anyone have any theory's as to what these numbers add up to or mean? I'm curious to know the significance of them too, but cannot seem to figure it out.

It has to do with your join date. The first number is the first digit of the year you joined divided by 2 (excluding any zeros). The last two digits is the last two digits of the year joined divided by 2 as well. Negative vs positive, up vs down doesn't mean anything.

My number hasn't changed at all throughout this whole test. I haven't been posting much which may explain why my rating has remained completely stable - I've been much too busy with this project at work in which I'm supposed to come up with a thesis on the longterm effects of universal healthcare and what everything means, I'm afraid in the final review it all just won't add up though. Luckily I have a little extra times this month.

Anyway, I digress - if anyone figures out if theres a deeper meaning to all of this let me know, I have a feeling it's just a flawed test though.

You are thinking far too complicated; the Apple world is much easier ...
 
Next guess. It's the total number of negative or positive votes that you have up to a certain date.
