Default QQ preflop cap why?

I read in various starting hand charts that QQ is a cap/cap hand.

If I raise with QQ and get reraised behing, what could the reraiser have ? only another cap hand ? that'd be either
AA
KK
QQ
AKs
AKo ?

that'd set me ahead against AK* and behind against AA and KK
AK* is 16 possible variations
AA is 6 possible variations, KK 6, too, so i'd be ahead
in 16 cases and behind in 12 ?

is that the solution already ?

qq vs. aks is 53.9 vs. 46.1% win-chance
qq vs. ako is 56.7 vs. 43.3% win-chance
qq vs. aa is 18.4 vs. 81.6% win-chance
qq vs. kk is 18.0 vs. 82.0% win-chance (astonishing

if taking that into account we get:

qq-aks: 4 *53.9
qq-ako: 12*56.7
qq-aa : 6 *18.4
qq-kk : 6 *18.0

sum that up and divide through the number of distributions gives:
1114.4/28 = 39.8%

giving qq a 39.8% chance to win against {aa,kk,aks,ako}
(am i doing a mistake here somewhere ?)
