Well, the table is coded like this:
<td width="25%">
<td width="25%">
<td width="18%">
<td width="7%">
<td width="25%">
So if it's uniformly 25%, there should only be four cells.
HOWEVER! I think there should be five cells. Why?
If the rating bar is going to show above the radio buttons (the way the
red background one does currently), then the 0-1 section gives the whole
thing a nice visual continuity [poking with blunt stick]. Having five
radio buttons and four sections would be confusing.
