The bottom half of my list consists entirely of people who I didn't recognize at all. All but one of the ones I looked at have at least one mutual friend with me. (Now I'm curious whether Facebook generates some of these entries just by crawling my social graph?)

Also, can anyone share what range of numbers they're seeing? At the very top of my list is one negative number. Beyond that, the top half of my list ranges between 0.1 and 1.0. The last half of the list ranges from 1.0 to 1.2.

Top of my list is -3.7312181, bottom is 1.237559. 11 negative numbers, 108 positive. A friends was skewed more to negative numbers, so I'm guessing that maybe you just aren't a heavy/frequent user?
