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.)

Levels are another way to keep track of how active you (and others) have been. The more points you accumulate, the higher your level. Yahoo! Answers recognizes your level achievements with our special brand of thank you's!
And finally, as you attain higher levels, you'll also be able to contribute more to Yahoo! Answers - you can ask, answer, vote and rate more frequently.

G'day Pirate Prinsess,
Thank you for your question. It takes 1000 points.
Yahoo! Answers have a summary of the scoring system although as it isn't as prominent as it used to be.
http://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_system
That tells you what the points needed to reach each level are and how you can reach them. It doesn't take as long as you might think.
Seasons greetings
