    you can take advantage of the NOT answered questions by going to a category and reranking the list of questions from least to most.

    Answer those questions and take advantage of the only answerer and getting best answer by default.

    When you ask a question you get 5 points deducted, you could recognise this as a cost for asking the question. When you answer a question you get 2 points. When your answer gets chosen as the best answer you get 10 points. When you vote for a best answer you get 1 point. So it's quite simple really. See: http://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_system;_ylt=... for more information.

    Any answer is worth two points.

    Best answer is worth ten.

    You get one point if you vote for a best answer on an undecided question.

    Any time you ask a question it costs you five points.
