Not even Yahoo can answer that one....here is what I found on their website about points.....
Points and Levels
To encourage participation and reward great answers, Yahoo! Answers has a system of points and levels. The number of points you get depends on the specific action you take. The points table below summarizes the point values for different actions. While you can't use points to buy or redeem anything, they do allow everyone to recognize how active and helpful you've been. (And they give you another excuse to brag to your friends.)

Most questions are very stupid cause they dont know how to use the Internet.
Save them up to ask question.
Of course some of use dont need to ask question cause we know how to use the internet.
