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 questions 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 :)

    The weekly scoreboard is wrong. For over a month, everyone's points for a week never rolled over. Last Sunday, my profile said I had earnt over 8,400 points, but that was never in a week. More likely seven or eight.

    The weekly points bug has been fixed now, and you will see my profile says I've earnt over 1,500 points this week and not over 9,900 points. Hopefully tomorrow when we check the leaderboard the problem will be rectified there as well.

    I have come across a few level 7s

    It should take a long time to build up that many points

    Even with the ones who give answers of yes or not and get their points.

    To get that many points in a day has to be a scam

    There are limits of how many answers can be given in a day

    Different levels have different amounts

    Once you get to level 5 you can answer as many queston's as you wish to. According to the Point scoring system Yahoo has provided. That is why they have as many points as you see on a daily basis.

    Look at this yahoo link

    http://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_system;_ylt=...

    Scroll down and each level tell's you about how many question's you can post per level.

    be particular to run round contained in the woodland nook of the bonus element. which will develop all the mushrooms and once you've damaged all of them you get a mushroom motorized vehicle with a blue stud path, this is what ultimately pushed me over the 1million. The activities nook is there, with the pool and the flags in honor of the summer season Olympics coming to London in 2012, i'm guessing. the flags are Olympic hues, the gold/silver/bronze podium means that too.

    i read from one of the profiles of a level 7 that it's a glitch in the system, it's impossible to earn the thousands something points in a day :)
