For the first time I have a result that the Granted credit was Higher than the claimed credit. What would cause this?

I suppose it would be because of where your Claimed Credit fell with the other 2 Results Claimed Credit. If yours was the low claimed credit then you would get more than you claimed because the middle claimed credit would be what is granted.

I see that a lot, I also see getting less than I claimed ...

The credit system takes three valid results and gives the middle claimed credit to all as granted credit to all. For once, it seems like you were the lowest claimed credit value. It's crazy, because the credit you get is based upon the machines of other users who are processing the same WU that you are.
