While looking at someone else's reputation history recently I noticed the following anomaly -- the total for one day was +100, which is not the sum of the total activity for the day (+50 and +40). Since the day in question was a long time ago, I doubt that it's because of some pending action that hasn't been fully processed yet, nor do I think it's from a deleted post -- this particular user has made very few of them.
In short, it looks like simply a bug.

Since you're looking at rep from 2008, the most likely cause is a deleted post that received an upvote that day. You get to keep rep from deleted posts if the post is over a specific age when it gets deleted (I think it's posts over 60 days old, but am not sure). Also @Bart, here you go– RachelFeb 5, 2013 at 20:18

@Rachel: If he kept the reputation from it being deleted, it would still be present in the history, as is the "What is the single most..." post, which is currently deleted.– animuson StaffModFeb 5, 2013 at 20:21

@animuson You're right, I forgot deleted posts do show up in rep history :) Perhaps it was something hard-deleted, like the boat question?– RachelFeb 5, 2013 at 20:39

Maybe that was a bonus...– Ver NickDec 10, 2018 at 8:13
