What percentage of questions on WikiAnswers go unanswered?
As of September 12, 2009, about 68.66% of questions are unanswered, so that is roughly a 31.33% chance of getting a question answered. However, these statistics are not 100% accurate, because it also depends on how specific a question is, how complicated the question is, and what percentage of knowledgeable users are on WikiAnswers at that point in time. Though, the bolded percentage above is the most accurate statistic, which is just a general overlook of all questions asked, and whether or not they get answered.
