Granted Credit is median from claimed, excluding highest and lowest.

Unless of course the system is slow and all 4 results are returned before the creditor machines gets to the unit. Then all 4 results are added together and the total is then divided by 4 and the result is how much each person gets.
This should be less frequent as the system becomes more stable and the validator and creditor machines get and keep their acts together.

No, in this case the highes and lowest are discarded as well, but the remaining two are added and diveded by two.
