Why do I only have 31 in reputation when I got a total of five upvotes?

On my user page it says I answered two questions with scores of 2 and 3. I think you get 10 rep for upvotes on answers. One answer could be that I do not get rep from the answer scoring 2 ups because that questions has got so many answers already. But it says "21 answers" and I think the limit is 30.

One of your answers, the one with the 2 upvotes, is on a question that was made community wiki before you answered (or before you got any upvotes). You don't earn or lose rep for those - but you can still earn badges.

Further investigating, the question was made community wiki on Nov 1 at 23:06, and you answered on Nov 2 at 10:21, so it was automatically turned to community wiki, as shown in the revision history.

But it says "21 answers" and I think the limit is 30.

The limit here is 15. 30 is the limit at StackOverflow, and can be different at different sites.

    Updated the link to "revision history" to point at the history of your answer, it was incorrectly pointed to the history of the question - which the link at "Nov 1 at 23:06" is meant for.
