I am really curious as to the answer to this question:
Of the stories that got more than 10 votes, how many of those (first) 10 votes came from upvotes as opposed to multiple submission.
My theory is that it frequently takes multiple submissions to get stuff in the front page so that it can be upvoted, rather than through upvotes from New. In which case the best story in the world might not do well if only one person finds it.
