Is my username apt?
I just started mining with Slush's yesterday. For reference I just have an AntU1. Here are my first few blocks (I went offline at 22152, power outage).

So for 22149 I jumped into this round very late. This is the first round I mined and my share ratio is at it's absolute lowest. Yet the reward is at it's absolute highest. How is this possible/fair?
To elaborate: 22149 was a 6 hour round, I mined for maybe the last two hours of it. 22150 and 22151 I mined beginning to end of round. The ratio of (My Shares / Total Shares) for 22149 is staggeringly low compared to 22150 and 22151 - YET the reward for 22149 is higher. I participated/did less work in the round I got the most reward in.
Can anyone explain this to me?
