Yeah its for the people who have loads of best answers in one category.

And whats with the "10 points for best answer" As if your giving something no one else has?? You always get 10 points for a best answer..isn't that obvious,

It is for people who specialise in a category who answer a lot of questions and get a lot of best answers.

There is no exact formula and all T/C's activities are reviewed each week and they can be lost, or changed.

They are available in 3 categories and some weeks I have 3 and at the moment only have 2

The current thinking is that you need 10% Best Answer in whatever category you choose to excel in

I wouldn't know - yet because I'm not a top contributor and therefore probably not clever enough to know the answer to that question yet.

By answering so many questions in one specific category in Yahoo Answers.

I think you get loads of best answers or answer loads of questions in one particular category..

ermmm answer loads,good answers i suppose if so im going to be here for ages and should be old and grey before i get one....wish me luck lol
