The best way I would say is to answer your question when you're sure you have the right answer.

If the community does think your answer was correct/useful for your question you get the Self Leaner Badge.

Just wait a few days... I'm not sure of the precise amount of time, but in a few days you'll be able to select your own answer as THE answer.

    You have to wait at least 2 days to accept your own answer to a question, but you don't have to wait that long to post the answer.

  • I received an error saying that I could not even "post" my answer until 24 hours have passed and suggested that I edit the original question instead. I don't mind waiting before selecting the correct answer but why the mandatory waiting period before I can "post" an answer?
