Can someone please explain to me the math behind the medal progress bar?

 

For instance, I'm 53% to Global Quest Qualified Gold (20 Global Quest Qualifications)

 

However, 20*.53=10.6 (not very likely)

 

Thus I had the thought "Maybe its rounded"

 

Well, 20*.52=10.4 and 20*.54=10.8

 

This all led me to the idea that maybe its subtracting the preceding medals and so I tried

 

(20-5-1)*{.52} {.53} {.54} which gave me 7.28, 7.42 and 7.56 respectively.

 

And so, all glory to the cows, I thought that perhaps ONLY the previous medal was subtracted and I was given the closest thing to a whole number.

 

(20-5)*{.52} {.53} {.54} which gave me 7.8, 7.95, and 8.1 respectively.

 

And so I am left only with the thought that maybe the third method is proper and that my true number of qualifications is 8 (being the closest whole number) and that my actual percentage is .53 with 3 being a repeated decimal, rounding it down to 53%

 

Sorry if this seems like useless rambling but hopefully if I am incorrect, someone can correct me, its something I have been curious of for a while.

UPDATE:

 

So I tested out my final method with another players SE Kills as its displayed in public and the numbers can be compared. It seems that to get the proper answer, you should add the result to the previous medals requirements.

 

Using Global Quests as the example still,

 

Silver requires 5

Gold requires 20

I'm 53% to Gold

 

(20-5)*.53=(about 8)

 

8+5=13 and so I`ve qualified in 13 Global Quests

I believe that the progress takes into account your previous medal as well

Gold / Kill peaks at about Level 310 or so - and then drops again twice - once at 1601 (from average 300g / kill with no doubler/mer/th to 250g / kill) and then again at at 1626 (down another 50g / kill to an average of 200g / kill)
