Well, as it happens I know because my friends page style tells me. But I also know how to work it out anyway. This entry is 129014.html. Take the numerical part of that (129014) and divide it by 256, then chuck out the remainder. That gives you 253. The number in the URL is generated by:
N = 256E + R
where N is the number in the URL, E is the number of the entry, and R is a random integer from 0 to 255.
As you said, LJ-fu.
And I'm afraid I'm going to have to correct you on the way OKCupid works as well. There are two separate sets of values given. The first, "You are 78% knowledgable and 96% intellectual", is a raw score; only the second percentile score, "You scored higher than 99% on knowledge", is based on comparisons of age and gender.
