what would you do to make a difference? Seriously, how would you use this opportunity to help someone or put some positive energy out there into the worldwide user community?

i'd try to give each person the time they deserved. whether it's answering or asking, everyone has a "key thing" they want out of the experience. is it reassurance? is it sharing? is it a need? it's unique for everyone.
how gratifying it is to know that someone cared enough to link minds for just a moment, and shared the same train of thought. when a kindred is met, the miles just melt away...

I was always taught an honest question deserves an honest answer. Learning something new should always be a positive experience and I think the best way to make a difference is to answer a question in a such way that someone who maybe doesn't enjoy learning will get something new, exciting and fun out of it and will want to learn more. By making an answer in a friendly and relatable way, the good karma of learning can get spread around.
I don't know if that's what Brainiac does, but that's what i want to do.

I would really love to be there with all of you!! And I personally think you're doing a great job! I love that you're accosting strangers in Times Square to get them to join in!
I don't know that I would do anything different than I already do on Y!Answers. Answer questions the best way I know how, be supportive if someone seems to need it, try to ask some questions that make people think, and most of all make people laugh with my answers to their questions that are obviously intended to be silly. Like the Rubber Ducky Ranch question that I answered a few days ago.
And I ALWAYS try to put positive energy into the worldwide community because I believe that you get back what you put out!!

I would answer the questions that have no answers or only have a few answers or the ones that did not get a correct answer yet. If I didn't know the answer I would ask the other Brainiacs and if they didn't know I would ask one of the yahoo staff-even the camera guy-somebody MUST know the answer. If no-body in the brain knows the answer I would send the yamster to the nearest public library to find the answer!! If he does NOT find the answer I would recommend that yahoo fire him and find a smarter yamster. But that, of course, is only my humble opinion. p.s. Please do not tell the yamster what I said as I do not want to be BLAMED the next time he goes missing. From what I understand he has a habit of disappearing for months at a time!

I wouldnt ever want to be a braniac.Why would I want to make a difference? I dont think this is that of important to be supported world wide! Positive energy wouldnt be through yahoos answers, what makes you ask this? This is funny they act as if they,re heros? In reality the real heros aren't spending time on a computer trying to get points! How is it world wide when the brainiacs are from the good ol USA?

I would actually know my information and not freeze up on cam (like I saw some do) when someone asked me a question about things I am supposed to know. And I would not answer a serious question with silly answers like the brain is gray...because it had something to do with the paint, lmao( me being silly once again)
Seriously I would sit there and answer as many questions as possible(silly or not) and try to take as few breaks as possible (do that anyways) so that I make the most out of the experience. I would be there to answer questions, therefore the only other things I would be concerned with is eating, drinking, going to the bathroom, taking a shower. I only get around 2-3 hours of sleep usually so I wouldn't need much sleep, so I could answer questions for hours.(my serious answer)

I wouldn't want to be a "Yahoo Brainiac" and be in the Purple brain in times square. I've got more important things to do besides answer people's question. Some of us have jobs so that we can eat and feed our families. Congratulations to you though.
