How can I find the smartest person on Yahoo Answers?

• 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:

  Well, the money issue aside, it really would be nice to know who the best answerers are on YA. I don't think the determining factor should be number of points because many who have large point scores have given superficial answers. The percentage of best answers might be a factor in determining the expertise of the answerer, but again this is not completely reliable as I know many times people select wrong answers as best answers. Perhaps you might survey each forum and ask for the names of those who are considered by others to provide the most accurate and thoughtful answers. This would help you narrow the field a bit. Then you might look at each of these individuals answers and best answer percentages to further refine your search. Possibly you might recruit a volunteer committee to help you make the final selection. Maybe you could sell YA on this idea and those who are finalists in each category might earn a little star to be displayed by their name to signify that their answers meet a high standard of logic, accuracy and reliability. I think that something like this might elevate the standards in YA so that it might at some point become a reliable knowledge base.
