It's the same for me. My top-voted answers are http://stackoverflow.com/questions/636381/what-is-the-best-way-to-do-a-substring-in-a-batch-file/636391#636391 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/636381/what-is-the-best-w... and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3235850/how-to-enter-a-multi-line-command/3235993#3235993 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3235850/how-to-enter-a-mu... – both of which don't even solve a hard problem. My highest-voted answer that actually required research effort on my part only has close to 1/3 of the highest-voted one's votes. Generally Stack Exchange doesn't really reward answers to hard problems because they don't get the same kind of exposure than the beginner-type questions and their answers.
