Stack overflow generally has more than one answer per question, so probably not. People more likely up vote an existing question.

- oblio 8y agoNo way. Even on Stack Overflow the ratio of answers to questions is below 1. Yup, found it: select 1000 * (select count() from Posts where PostTypeId = 1 and AnswerCount = 0) / (select count() from Posts where PostTypeId = 1); https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/new https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/new => 132 for me. so 132 answers for 1000 questions, on average. You're looking at popular questions, that have a ton of answers. But the long tail is huge and most of those questions have 0/1 answers, most likely 0.
