It's true for both of you, but if I remember, there is another bug whit the k factor, calculating all games.

i read for 4 players, it is 2/3 k-factor = 40 not 20
i think we need a very clear explication by admin to explain exactly how works K factor

Or by the developer? Maybe he have put a older code of the game and calculating 20 of factor for the one who have won over the majority of the players?

This is only if the game is best (as defined by bga) with 4 or more players. Since this game is best with 2 (as defined by bga) then the K-factor (for your first 11 games) will be decreased to 20 for a 4 player game (would be 30 for 3 players and 60 for 2 players or in general 60/# opponents).
It is a display bug that shows K-factor of 60 for the last two players.
