How many votes does it take to resolve a question?

Some of the questions I have answered have 1 vote, 100% and some even have 2 votes, 100%. They are still in tiebreaker mode.

    That tells me that the system has a wicked glitch and it may take a few more days to get them to repair it.

    Take a look at this Thread on the SB - the Tiebreaker bug is turning into a real problem for quite a few of us:

    Things were picking up for about an hour, but they slowed down again...

    Depends but it's not quantity it's majority % ... ie 51% > if questions don't hold a majority of 50 or higher than 50% and are divi'd up so that none is 50%+ then it goes to majority

    ex : 10 % 30 % 25% 25% 10%.... 30% votes wins

    1. It's just a glitch that Y!A is too incompetent to fix. They'll take their time figuring it out.
