How Long Do Tiebreakers Last?
When no-one has voted or or several have and there is a tie on a question it gets put into tiebreaker mode.
How long does it take before a question whose votes no longer come out in a tie ends.
When is it no longer considered a tie? I have seen several questions that arn't ties anymore. So when?

Tie-breakers are automatically verified every 12 or 24 hours to seen if the tie has ended. But there are some problems with several questions that have a clear winner but the tie doesn't want to end...Yahoo team has been working on this bug...

Usually, the questions are checked back on every 12-24 hours, at which point whatever answer is in the lead is marked as best answer and the question resolved. However, sometimes the tie is broken and then tied again during that period. There has also lately been a delay in some questions being automatically resolved, but the team has been working on that.
