    Wait for 4 hours after you submit the question and then go back to the question, you will have a blue tab under each answer, "Choose As Best Answer", click the tab on the answer you consider to be the best. Rate the answer 1-5 stars, add a comment if you wish, click submit. You have selected your best answer, you get 3 points back. You're done.

    Cheers

    Very aggravating!!!!!!!!!! Yes, it happened to me a year ago with a former Yahoo ID. Question: "Which comes first: chicken or egg?" My Answer: "Chicken (alphabetical order!)" Another answerer used my identical answer after I submitted it. His was chosen Best Answer. Turned out to be a team of two persons who had a little game going where she would pose a question; he would answer; and no matter how inane (or insane) the answer, his would be chosen for the 10 points. An example -- she asked the question: "Who invented the 24 hour day?" He answered "Rolex owner", and she chose that as Best Answer.

    After 4-5 hours, a button will appear under your question.

    It should say "Choose as best answer".

    CLick it if that's the best answer.

  • Four hours after you ask your question, if you go to your question, a little 'select as best answer' button appears by each answer. any time between then & when the question expires, click on the one you like best.

    All levels can pick a best answer to questions they ask and can vote for best answer on others' undecided questions.
