New K factor algorithm?

According to the FAQ, K factor should be 60, 40 or 20. And that used to be correct.
But suddenly, in the last day or so, I'm getting K factors like 37.
Has the K factor been fine tuned somehow?

How many games did you play from the specific game?

For multiplayer games when the K factor itself is 60 or 40, the displayed K factor shows the K factor times the player count factor (in 2 player the player count factor is 1, in 3 player it is 0.75, 4 player is 0.67), this is with the caveat that the game is best with that number of players or more, if it is best with less then the final factor would be even lower.
