I got a notification for +15 points on one of my posts:

Clicking on that link brings me to this answer. What surprises me is that I got +15 points. My understanding is that upvotes on answers give +10 points, and downvotes give -2 (plus the answer has no downvotes). So how did I end up with +15?

The asker of the question marked it as accepted. This gives you +15 reputation. Though marking your own answer on your own question does not, and marking someone else's answer to your question will give you +2 rep.
