Answer 1

By asking a question so you've just lost another 5 points

Answer 2

No, you have 17 points this week.  Remember, you lose 5 points for asking a question.  If you don't answer enough to make up for it, you lose points.  Are you choosing Best Answers to your questions?  You should.  You get 3 points back when you do that.  And you need to answer more.  Below is a link to how the scoring works (or you can click on the points or level number next to your avatar), and other ways to earn points.
