    It means two or more answers have the same amount of votes as each other and it needs more vote so it can be the winning answer

    OR

    Or the silly answer is what "Big Woof" said

    Tiebreaker in QA means that there are one or more answers with the same amount of votes for a particular question that is in voting and one more vote is needed to break the tie...

    It means that two (or more) answers are tied for voting and an additional vote needs to be made on one of the leading answers for a Best Answer to be selected.

    It means that 2 or more answers have the same number of votes and one of them needs 1 more to receive Best Answer.

  • How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer.
  • It means that your vote could possibly break the tie vote.

    It means with your vote you could end the tie breaker. K2

    why it means that you could break the tiebreaker with one more vote

  • Hmm, if the other answerers are right it explains why I sometimes get a best answer from a question that's months old!

    It means you take a sledge hammer to a man's tie when it does not match his outfit. :-)
