The answers near the top of the page got the most up-votes. The ones at the bottom got fewer votes or have a negative score.

  And the replies to the answers? For example, if a reply gets the most votes. How do I know when that happens?

    The reply will be listed first among all those replying to the same parent. There's also a time-decay factor that comes in -- in essence, when ordering, the votes on a newer post are worth more (and as time goes by, all votes equalize in value)

      Right, but the relationship between replies is not known. Is reply number 1 far ahead of reply number 2? Or are they close. Plus, what about replies with different parents. How do you tell which reply has more votes?
