Yesterday, I earned a reputation of 222 (in a single day) despite the fact that the help pages say that the limit is 200. How is that possible?

$\begingroup$ Earning Mortarboard and Tumbleweed on the same day, a bittersweet achievement. FYI, machine learning is on topic at Cross Validated, and I suspect your question would have a better chance of being answered if it was migrated there. $\endgroup$– user127096Commented Mar 9, 2014 at 22:25

$\begingroup$ @127.0.9.6 Thanks for that info, but my code is working. Perhaps next time... $\endgroup$– PriyathamCommented Mar 9, 2014 at 23:18

$\begingroup$ No problem. However, the question still sits there to be found by other users who will be pondering how to answer it. If you no longer need an answer, you can either (a) delete question, or [better] (b) post a brief answer yourself and accept it. $\endgroup$– user127096Commented Mar 9, 2014 at 23:22

$\begingroup$ I followed your suggestion (b). Thanks. $\endgroup$– PriyathamCommented Mar 9, 2014 at 23:32

The reputation cap affects only reputation you get from upvotes (and edits). The reputation you get from having your answer accepted, or bounties, is exempt. Getting a lot of answers accepted in a single day can take you far above the 200 point mark, ditto bounties.
