Due to the obscurity of the formula (even the code comments are cryptic about its nature), it's quite possible that it doesn't work the way it's supposed to.

In fact, here's the code:

// Ok, this is really damn easy, so skew the values...
// e.g. if calculated skill is 84, skewed up to 96
// 51 to 84
// 22 stays as is
iSkill = (iSkill + 100 * (iSkill / 25) ) / (iSkill / 25 + 1);

Looks like you read it correctly, but I couldn't tell you why it gives the results that you say it does Razz

EDIT: Oh, please note that due to the way C++ works, there are several automatic conversions to integer within that function, of course.
