How does someone get to be top contributor with only 85 answers?
I recently saw someone that had a top contributor tag in the computer and internet category, level 2 with 20 best answers and has only 85 questions answered?
How does that happen?

It is VERY unusual, but possible.
Rumor says you need around 45-50 answers in one month, with 10% of them being Best Answers. Updates are made on Mondays and if you get the BAs quickly enough, you can probably qualify within 2 weeks (rather than a full month). I've seen other reports of it. It might especially be true if (1) the person is cheating and awarding themselves BA or (2) they are a 'returning' person with a new account and lots of past experience on here.
