I did the math and the leader Kevin currently has 7814 answers with the variable being 10 for best answer ,which is almost not possible here, tallies up to 78140 points and factor in the 15 questions for 150. Now, my score along with questions and answers equals 86. Though the leaders are higher than us, this trick is false-proof, but I see no other way since the numbers do not add up. please correct me on this accusation for I am a mathematician for the last 32 years and had to say something. The variables do not match and the corresponding numbers "150" and "7814" in no way equals this.

But I still think Kevin is cheating because I did the math from 7814 and got 78140. Oh, and this is my 4th screename. Thanks people for you help with points. You stupid people are such suckers. LOL!!!

There are many ways to rack up points that do not require you to post an answer. Occasionally, I get bored enough to sit and rate 15 answers, an easy way to add points without much thinking.

I don't know about mathematical probabilities, but if you feel there is any violation occurring, i.e., gaming for points, you should report it to Yahoo Answers and request that they investigate the matter further.
Personally, I think it would be truly sad and pathetic person who would answer their own questions under a different screen name for the points.
The whole idea here is to ask questions and have a diverse people give you their answers and opinions in order to gain a better understanding of society as a whole, and maybe learn something in the process.

Um...you need to find a hobby. even if they do have a master-mind plan of gaming for points, the one with the most points still doesn't get anything. I'm just going for my level 5 because I want to be able to answer unlimited questions on any given day.

well there are other ways in which Kevin can earn points such as voting for best answer, not sure if you considered that also.

i have no idea what you're asking but i think that answering their own question thing just might be true
