question 1 has 2 answers:
 
answer 1 gets two white fives. Valued at 2*1*5 = 10. Normalised = 4, Rating = 5
answer 2 gets a single platinum five. Valued at 1*8*5 = 40. Normalised = 16, Rating = 5
the "answered value" is 40, Normalised = 16, Rating = 5
 
 
question 2 has 1 answer:
 
answer 1 gets two white fours. Valued at 2*1*4 = 8. Normalised = 2, Rating = 4
the "answered value" is 8, Normalised = 2, Rating = 4
 
 
question 3 has 2 answers:
 
answer 1 gets 5 white fives, and a platinum 1: Valued at 5*1*5 + 1*8*1 = 33, Normalised = -6, Rating = 2.54
answer 2 gets a single silver 4. Valued at 1*2*4 = 8, Normalised = 4, Rating = 4
the "answered value" is 33, Normalised = 4, Rating = 4
 
question 4 has 1 answer:
 
answer 1 gets 10 platinum ones. Valued at 10*8*1 = 80. Normalised = -160, Rating = 1
the "answered value" is 80, Normalised = -160, Rating = 1


Summing the votes normalised over 3 certainly provides a benefit when sorting like this, and is definitely easy to implement.


The main discussion point, however, is that

1. Members do not hit "Accept Answer" consistently enough for it to be of reliable value
2. A better answer may be posted after the accepted answer
3. We need a way to identify questions that need some loving.
4. No system is perfect. Let's aim for the 95% of cases.
