How can I find the smartest person on Yahoo! Answers?

Question

I need to find an easy way to determine the smartest person on yahoo answers and give them a LOT of money. I am looking for people that are gifted in their ability to reason more than their knowledge. How should I do it?

Answer 1

I am the smaterst, but I will not accept your money. Please donate them to some children hospital or to someone who really needs them.

If anyone can solve the problems in the link above, they're a genious. Also, the Clay Mathematics Institute of Cambridge will give you $1,000,000 for solutions and/or proofs to these problems. Here is one of the problems:

Some numbers have the special property that they cannot be expressed as the product of two smaller numbers, e.g., 2, 3, 5, 7, etc. Such numbers are called prime numbers, and they play an important role, both in pure mathematics and its applications. The distribution of such prime numbers among all natural numbers does not follow any regular pattern, however the German mathematician G.F.B. Riemann (1826 - 1866) observed that the frequency of prime numbers is very closely related to the behavior of an elaborate function

ζ(s) = 1 + (1/2)^s + (1/3)^s + (1/4)^s + ...

called the Riemann Zeta function. The Riemann hypothesis asserts that all interesting solutions of the equation

ζ(s) = 0

lie on a certain vertical straight line. This has been checked for the first 1,500,000,000 solutions.

Try to prove this! Good luck!

Smartness is relevant. It depends on a number of things: Subjects that the person is good in. The knowledge the person has in the subjects. The ability to explain their answers so that the person asking the question understands the answer. Some days the person is more likely to be on step than others.

Answer 4

Better hurry, because the smartest person still posting on Yahoo! Answers will be the next one to stop posting because he or she is quickly understanding that no one really cares about their answers and that makes it a waste of time.

But if what you really want are people who think they're the smartest, you shouldn't have any problems (people with high levels, talk about their IQ or MENSA, etc.).

Answer 5

Well, you could just choose me and get it over with.


Nah, I'm joking. I can't really say what the BEST way would be, but I'd suggest just asking difficult questions, taking lists of answers and answerers, and generally figuring out who seems to give the best answers. There are lots of people on here, though, so it won't be an easy thing to do. :\

Answer 6

For starters are we talking a parking lot full of money, because it is the only lot that counts... then let's discuss the ability to reason, any monkey can do that. As for being smart, well that is all relitive. At any rate good luck in your search and may the wise be with you.

Answer 7

your not going to find the smartest one on here, because if you ask any question, it might be someone that they know answering it.you can only go by the percentage of answers been answered the best. Good luck trying to find the smartest person.

Answer 8

I believe that every human brain has equal capacity(note the first words of the USA constitution.).
The diference is in the culture and motivation that an individual has.The human brain capacity is fanstastically enormousThe problem is most people do not realise it . There are afraid to use their Intelligence.

Answer 9

save your money because people who come to yahoo answers are pathetically dumb witted, and as they cannot prove their abilities within the real world of reasonings and scolarship, they must solve minute problems in order to achieve self pleasure and fulfillment. Dumb devil and thine own ways.

Answer 10

Ask an open question in mathematics and see who
can get the answer first!!

Answer 11

Your "smartest" person would be subjective. So, you might as well pick anyone, except for me.
