There is a big problem!?

Question

Well seven people so far chose me as best answer. And so I have 4% best answer. But my friend,she has seven people who also chose her as best answer. And she has 12%. Why is that?

Answer 1

It depends on the total number of answers compared to how many of those were selected as a best answer.

Your friend obviously answered fewer questions in total than you did.

Answer 2

Maybe it could be just how well that her answers were. Questions can be answered and those answers (like one I just got) are no help at all. So maybe Yahoo (which has done some awful changes lately) could be evaluating answers. Just an idea.

Answer 3

It's a percentage of your total answers.  You've answered 175 (?)questions and had 7 best answers.  She's answered only 58 questions(?) or so and has 7 best answers, thus the 12%.  It's all in the numbers.
