Occasionally on AskUbuntu, I've seen highly upvoted answers listed before the accepted answer for a question. This is useful for when the OP accepts a suboptimal or incorrect answer.

However, when does this phenomenon occur? For some questionssome questions it clearly doesn't. Is there a mathematical ratio of upvotes vs. downvotes? If so, what is the ratio?
