The "4-1" or "5+3" (etc) that you see next to the names of the answerers are not a "score" and are not Kudoz points - in each case they are the sum of the answerer's confidence level plus the net agrees/disagrees.



And it is a punishable offense even to mention an answerer's confidence level, even though some PointZ hunters regularly select confidence level 5 – Highest, I am sure – for the purpose of elevating their own status in the race and might even disagree with previous answers for the same reason.

I'm not sure it's that important. IMO, serious askers consider all responses, and are not swayed by the order in which they appear (but may well be swayed by an array of "agrees" from respected colleagues).
