LEVEL 7: Point multiplier ?

At some level, is there a point multiplier that kicks in for questions asked and answered ?

I ask the question because I see from the weekly leaderboard that there are people who have 30K + points / week.

Doing a little math, it seems like these folx are earning 4285 points / day. Assuming that each day, they vote for best answer the maximum number of times, this is still 4185 points / day on answering questions.

This means that they manage to answer between 348 - 2092 per hour (depending on the number of "Best Answers").

Assuming sleep time of about 8 hours, this translates to 21 - 130 questions PER HOUR....

Level 7s - is this possible ? Does my math make sense ? Is there a level that you can reach where your best answers and your regular answers get more points ? Are there bots involved ?

Thanks for your candid reply :)

    There is something wrong with the weekly points. I know that they don't reset all the time because I have seen my own be too high for the week. Some of those people atop the leaderboard have said that they don't really get that many points in a week.

    I easily have come for the length of a few factor 7s it might take a lengthy time period to boost that many factors regardless of those who supply solutions of definite or no longer and get their factors. To get that many factors in an afternoon must be a rip-off There are limits of how many solutions might want to easily accept in an afternoon diverse stages have diverse quantities

    No point mulitplier. Those people are on here like 25 hours a day. Apparently, they don't have jobs.
