Mahalo Hunting Contest - How Many Yellow Belts and lower are providing great answers?

I've created a small How-to page on how Undecided Voting works. Please read it before participating in the contest.
http://www.mahalo.com/how-undecided-voting-works

http://www.flickr.com/photos/33749589@N07/3908146044/

For this contest, You are to enter the Undecided Voting Queue, and start voting for best answers.

The answerers are hidden, so you will not know the belt levels of answerers you are voting on. After you click the "vote" button, the answerer is revealed.

If the answer you voted for came from a White, Yellow-Tip or Yellow Belt Mahaloian, copy the Permalink of the answer, and post it here as your answer.

Be sure to compliment the young belt on their answer by leaving a comment, not only is this a very nice way to treat new users, but it also lets others competitors in this contest know you've already submitted that answer to the contest.

This contest will close in three days, you can continue to add to your answer by adding more permalinks in the comment section. The user who finds the most Unique Lower Belts with best answers - unique meaning you were the first to post the find - Will win the big tip.
Tip for best answer: M$20.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Thanks for participating, remember, not all answers are best answers, sometimes selecting "no best answer" is better for us.

For example #45 was a link to blogspam, certainly not a best answer, #48 was gibberish not even an answer to the question.

Please don't vote for answers just because they are the only answer, it's best that we maintain quality of quantity.

I am unsure if you are allowed to post the same user twice. Please stop me if you can't but @kenji gave another great response to the question
Does anyone know how to jailbreak an iPod touch?
Again, his answer was detailed and informative.

Hey @solaura, welcome to Mahalo, I always enjoy watching a white belt dive right and compete with the Mahalo vets.

The last three were perfect, the first two don't work for the contest because one was a "Green Tip" user and the other wasn't one you voted for. No worries though. I took the liberty to edit them out of your answer, and I fixed your permalinks - here is my trick

If you find anymore, drop them here as a comment and they will be added to your count.

I like this but it's very hard to know whether or not someone has found an answer first, unless we check back at this list every single time we find an answer before we post. There has to be a better way of doing this.

Oh well, that's a bit easier to track. For instance, there are only about 4-5 people in this contest right now. So I vote, and if those 4-5 people have left a comment, I don't add that answer to my list.

Granted, it would be harder if more people were participating, in which case we'd want to implement a code word or phrase to note if the answer's officially been tagged.

Are you saying that the participants here just aren't leaving comments?

If they aren't, then I say fair game! If I'm the first one to leave a comment, then I'm the first one to fully submit the answer.

I think you should assume the same. Although really, I think everyone participating so far is caught up with comments. So I think you're good to go!

Aw man! That explains why I could only see 'answerer #1' when I was in there the other day. I know, I'm not answering with a link - I just wanted to pout a little bit, since I am right at this moment a yellow belt, which makes me eligible, but if I answer this question right now and get two points, I will be a Yellow belt with a green tip! That will make me ineligible, no? LOL

I just want to say, I love the contests - they are fun and encouraging!
