@raceprouk Lol.
Maths is hard.

Or there are five tracking pixels in each email.

Gramming, too.

Over loud engine noise ... Did you ask.... if they are getting duplicates.

@raceprouk OK, is there some joke I don't get, or are you using some different mathematics where 200/80=5?

Imma try and puzzle it out. We can estimate that there were 83561 emails sent in the campaign. We can verify this approximation because the percent opened mostly matches (212877/83561 = 254.75%).
So, if everyone opens a certain number of them, that number is a part of the stated percent. If for example there were only 100000 emails sent and you opened 100, there are 1000 100s in 100000 so therefore you opened 10 percent. Now, if you only opened up 5 emails... well I can't figure out just five, so we'll pretend they opened up five, so that's 10 percent five times over again and you get 250%, yeah?

Or the opened update is not an idempotent update, or is trying to be but is still a nonatomic increment in a trenchcoat. (The trenchcoat is also nonatomic, so 5 take no more space than one)

Concurrency is usually harder. As to whether it's harder than the maths approximating it, well, maths is hard.
