 On https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#aggregate/cc
 it shows me a list of ten countries, and at the bottom of the list of 10
 countries is a row called "Total" which says, for consensus weight,
 99.75%.

 But if I add up the 10 numbers in the consensus weight column, they sum to
 86.6485%.

 So I think the "total" is including the countries that aren't listed on
 the page. That's surprising to me. I had expected to be learning what
 fraction of the network was represented by the 10 countries, and then when
 I switch to seeing 20 countries at a time, I'd see a new total.

 (Also, the fact that the totals don't reach 100%, I assume due to
 rounding, is a separate issue. E.g. the total for the exit probability
 column is currently 100.10%. We might want to use a few more digits of
 precision inside the calculations, to make those numbers add up properly.)
