How do you pick a best answer when all the answers are good and helpful?

Posted by admin on February 18th, 2010 and filed under answers |

Do you have some kind of criteria you use? Sometimes I will pick the one that is the longest, or the person who responded first with a good solid detailed answer.

I just asked how to make pie crust with a crushed cookie and 3 people already responded with awesome answers, each slightly different but the same idea.

I pick by one of three ways… first I check to see if one of my favorites is any better than the others. If I really can’t decide that, I check to see which has the most thumbs up. If they are the same I then check to see who has the fewest points on Y!A and pick the lowest one. And if all that doesn’t seem to pick the best one for me I just put the question to vote.
