# Why doesn't my curious badge count all my well received questions?

After reading this Meta.SE post and reviewing this question and answer I can't seem to work out why the progress noted for my 'curious' badge is only 2/5 instead of 3/5.

I don't have a positive question record:

(total questions - negative questions - closed - deleted)/total questions >= 0.5
(4               - 1                  - 1      - 1      )/4                = 0.25


(darn that stupid question that got downvoted, closed and then deleted! Perhaps a speedy 'delete before it gets closed' would have saved me a point!)

So I can't earn this badge until I ask at least one more positively received question that is neither closed nor deleted, but I have three well received, open, undeleted questions - wouldn't that mean that the badge would read as 3/5, positive question record required?

Added both bug and support tags, as while I'm guessing there's some functionality here that means the tracking is, in fact, correct, this could be an incorrect guess. Also, if I'm right, maybe there's a good place to clarify how this feature works more fully.

• When did you ask the deleted question? – Laurel Jul 26 '18 at 5:13
• @Laurel May 30. Are you thinking that if I got a non-positive question record it would stop updating the number or something? – Isaac Reefman Jul 26 '18 at 5:58
• No but it could've prevented a well received question from counting, if they were asked on the same day I think. From the linked post: "If you ask at least one well-received question in a UTC day and none of your questions that day are deleted, downvoted, or closed, you get one more day of credit toward the badge." (Assuming you're right about when you asked the question this does not appear to be the case here.) It's possible that there's a bug; something similar happened here it seems. – Laurel Jul 26 '18 at 6:13
• I've asked another well received question buy my question record (which therefore should be 0.5) still doesn't report as positive... I wonder if there's a delay in when it's updated... – Isaac Reefman Jul 26 '18 at 7:27
