From that point of view, we should consider only the second table, which is saying that answering a question within the first 5 minutes gives you a chance of 63%. Nevertheless, my main interest here is not votes or reputation but the strong feeling of wasting my time. | |
| Aug 13, 2013 at 11:03 | comment | added | Bill the Lizard Mod | @MarioRossi The question here is whether being the first to answer gives an advantage in being upvoted. I'm saying that it doesn't, but being right does. The first answer isn't always right, but it often enough is that the two can be confused. | |

| Jul 31, 2009 at 18:23 | comment | added | Bill the Lizard Mod | It may look like being first is a slight advantage, but I'd add to these stats the warning that correlation does not imply causation. It is often the case that the first answer is the obvious answer to an easy question, and so the first answer does have a slightly higher likelihood of being the right answer. | |
