Answer 2

I really don't like numbers and I really don't pay attention to numbers; it is probably a glitch

Answer 3

your almost on level 2.you have to get 250 points.I'm not too sure about the best answers changing though.

Answer 4

The percentage of best answers depends on how many answers you provided. In other words, its the percentage of ALL your answers that are "best" answers.

If you answered 100 questions and 10 were voted as "best" your percentage would be 10%. But if you answer 10 more questions the next day and have not had any new "best" answers, your percentage would be 9% ([10/110] * 100 = 9.09%).

Now if 15 of your answers get voted as "best" a day later, your percentage would change to 23% ([25/110] * 100 = 22.72%).

The bottom line is that your percentage is likely to change when 1) you answer any new questions and 2) your outstanding questions have been chosen as "best" answers.

Hope this helps,
