    I ask and answer questions get best answers all the time. It is almost impossible to keep up with it. I sure do not keep count and I doubt anyone really does. It should be the number of questions you ask vs the number of best answers you have. But it should also change if a question is deleted or you remove it. I wouldn't spend my time worrying about it.

    It just goes by the simple math

    %BA = 100 X #BAs / #Total Answers

    When you play with the math, after about 1000 total answers, it is hard to get the percentage to change.up, but the percentage can go down easily.

    Yes, my percentage of best answers is updating. When I reached level 6 the percentage went from 9% to 8%. at the same time. Yahoo's computer network is probably still having digital hiccups , s your best answer percentage may NOT be updating accurately.
