faq[10]='Q: What is this all about?
A: Student of Fortune is a site designed for students and working people, allowing everyone to ask and answer questions on nearly every topic. Have a homework problem you can\'t figure out? Post it on Student of Fortune and pick among solutions written by your peers. By answering the questions posted by other users you can earn real money, simply for helping other people out in areas you\'re good at. In short: By helping your fellow classmates/colleagues you earn money. It\'s pretty simple. And we\'ve tried to make this whole process fun, too. After all, we\'re just college students ourselves. '
faq[11]='Q: How does asking a question work?
A: To ask a question, simply click on the \'Ask Question\' link. Fill in all the fields with whatever pertains to your specific question. Decide how much money you would be willing to pay for an answer and then just hit \'Submit Question\'. Once that is done, your question will be posted to the Student of Fortune site for all other users to read and answer! Hooray!'
faq[16]='Q: What is the bounty thing?
A: The bounty is basically a measure of how much you\'d be willing to pay for the solution to your problem. If it\'s some sort of easy problem that\'s not really important to you, you can offer as little as $0.25 for the solution. However, if you\'re writing a PhD thesis and you want someone to answer some sort of huge awful problem, you can offer much more than that. Keep in mind that other users are going to be naturally attracted to high bounties just like in all those mercenary movies. But that\'s not to say that easy, cheap problems aren\'t appealing too! If you have an easy question and you offer $0.50 for it and someone knows the answer without having to do much work, they would be very inclined to answer it, even though it\'s not got a very high bounty. So, in the end, the bounty is just how much you\'re willing to pay for a solution to your problem.'
faq[12]='Q: I have to pay for answers?
A: You\'d only have to pay for answers you like. The way it works is: You post a question. Someone answers it. We send you a snippet of their solution. If their solution looks good to you, you can pay for the whole solution. The money you pay goes to them for the work that they did in answering your question. It\'s really simple.'
faq[46]='Q: How does the User Rating system work?
A: Our User Rating system is designed to help you decide if a potential solution is going to be of a high caliber. Our rating system is derived from the Weighted Geometric Mean - in other words, if someone answers a high-bounty question and gets an awesome rating for it, that\'ll influence their overall User Rating more than a rating from some lower-bounty question. We\'ve implemented this system because we basically assume that high-bounty questions are going to be more difficult to answer than lower bounty ones, and we want to weight the ratings as such. '
faq[13]='Q: I can earn money for answering questions?
A: Yes! That\'s the entire point of the site. Let\'s say you know everything there is to know about coconut farming. You\'re an expert in coconut farming. It\'s all you do all day. You login to Student of Fortune, you look for questions other people have posted about coconut farming. You see a question you think you know the answer to. You answer the question and, if the person likes your solution, they pay you for your answer. It\'s sort of like per-solution tutoring. See? I told you it was simple.'
faq[34]='Q: I\'m worried about putting money in my account
A: Don\'t worry. We take the security of your money very very seriously. Like we said above, though, you don\'t have to deposit money to start answering questions. Give Student of Fortune a try, first, and see how it feels. We\'re confident that your worries will be allayed pretty quickly.'
faq[14]='Q: What\'s the deal with referrals?
A: We\'re not a pyramid scheme, if that\'s what you\'re thinking. It\'s a really simple idea: You refer a friend to the site. They sign up listing you as their referral. From now on, you make 5% of all the money they spend buying solutions. You basically make money for doing nothing. Not a bad deal, huh? '
faq[27]='Q: What\'s the best type of solution to provide?
A: More is better. When we send the random 20% of your solution to the question-asker, we will also let them know how long the overall solution is. Users are more likely to buy answers that are more complete and more explanatory try to avoid just simply providing a one-line answer to a question. Explain how you got the answer you did, or comments on their paper, or whatever is fitting. The more helpful you are, the more likely they are to buy your answer. '
faq[37]='Q: Is this cheating?
A: We don\'t think so! We\'ve built Student of Fortune so that people, be they students or professionals, can ask their colleagues for help on difficult problems. Whether you\'ve got a hard math homework assignment or a PhD dissertation you need someone to look over, Student of Fortune is there for you. We don\'t put any limitations on the kinds of questions you ask the community, we are just going to assume that you\'ll do it in a moral way. That\'s what choice is all about. '
faq[38]='Q: It still seems like cheating
A: We\'ve thought long and hard about this. We believe that users who write solutions which not only help provide answers but also help teach how the answers were achieved will be the solutions that are purchased more often than not. And for that reason, we believe that Student of Fortune is a teaching and research tool, not a tool for cheating. But it\'s up to you how you use it. We\'re not going to judge you. We\'re just here to help.'
faq[43]='Q: Is this site web2.0 compatible?
A: WEB TWO POINT OHHHHHHH'
faq[44]='Q: What\'s with all of the hearts? ♥♥♥
A: Blame our CFO.'
faq[45]='Q: Are there stairs in your house?
A: Yes. No. Wait... What? [PAK CHOOIE UNF]'
faq[39]='Q: So who are you guys?
A: ..re just normal students and professionals, like you. As students, we grew frustrated with the apparent lack of colleague-based help that was available on the web for students. So we built Student of Fortune. And we try to stay away from the stuffy legalese of most other sites. Honest.'
faq[15]='Q: Explain this Ask Question thing to me
A: Here\'s how it works: Let\'s say you have some math problem you can\'t figure out, no matter how hard you try. You post your question on Student of Fortune and, under \'bounty\', you put a monetary value on your question to entice people to answer it. Once you post it, your question becomes available to the whole of the Student of Fortune community. Then let\'s say that Bob, a math genius, noticed your question and decides to answer it. We will send you a snippet of Bob\'s answer (so you can\'t just run off with the whole solution without paying Bob not that you would do that) and if you think it\'s good, you pay Bob for the whole solution. We then send you the solution Bob wrote and, bam! Your math problem is solved! '
faq[17]='Q: What\'s the Firm / Negotiable thing?
A: If you have a question that you want to ask but you\'re open to negotiating over the bounty price, select \'Negotiable\'. Otherwise, select \'Firm\'. '
faq[18]='Q: Explain this Negotiable thing to me
A: Negotiable bounties allow the person who\'s answering your question to haggle with you over the price of their solution. If someone puts a lot of work into their solution, they may feel as though they deserve slightly more than the asking price, so they can ask for a higher price. Or if they\'re feeling nice they can even request a lower price than the one you posted. Again, none of this is available if you select the \'Firm\' option. '
faq[22]='Q: So Negotiable means that the answerer can haggle over the price, but Firm means that the price is fixed?
A: Yep. You\'ve got it.'
faq[19]='Q: How do I select the solution I want?
A: Once people have answered your question, we\'ll send a random 20% portion of their answer to you for you to look over. This is done so that the person answering your question knows that you don\'t have their whole solution without paying them for it. So you can look over the part we send you and, if it looks good, you can buy the complete solution from them. You can even buy more than one solution to your problem if you want, if that seems like a good idea. '
faq[20]='Q: What are these categories for?
A: The categories are there to let you tell Student of Fortune how to organize your question. When other users are browsing for questions to answer, they can look through the categories we have listed. So if you\'re asking a question about Bankruptcy Law, you can select Law => Bankruptcy Law under the categories. If your question spans multiple categories, you can select up to two different categories for your question to appear in.'
faq[21]='Q: The category I want isn\'t an option
A: Please click here, select "Major/Minor Suggestion" and let us know what categories you\'d like us to add. We\'ll look them over and, if they seem valid, we\'ll add them to our list. In the meantime, feel free to use the \'General\' subcategory to post your question.'
faq[29]='Q: What is this intended audience thing?
A: Just what it sounds like the audience your question is most likely intended for. If you\'re asking some sort of ultra-complicated PhD question, the people most likely to be able to answer your question are other PhD students or Post-Graduates. If your question is a bit easier, select the sort of educational background your question is most likely to be answered by. '
faq[23]='Q: Explain this Answer Question thing to me
A: Answering questions is easy. All you have to do is look through other user\'s questions and find one that you think you can answer. Then write up your solution to their problem, submit it, and if they think it\'s a good answer, they\'ll pay you for the solution you wrote! '
faq[24]='Q: What is the bounty thing?
A: The bounty is how much the question-asker is willing to pay for solutions to their question. So if you answer their question and they buy your solution, that\'s the amount you\'ll be paid, minus site fees.'
faq[25]='Q: Site fees? What\'s all this about?
A: We need a bit of money to keep the site running -- things like this are expensive. We are trying to be a fair, easy-going site, but we do have to take some percentage of the payments to keep this whole thing running. Please see our friendly Fees Page for more information about this. We\'re honest, we promise. Hey, that would make a good motto.'
faq[26]='Q: What\'s to stop the question-asker from taking my answer and not paying me?
A: When you submit your solution to someone\'s question, we will send them a random 20% of the solution you provided. This 20% will never be selected from the end of your solution, to prevent math solutions (which normally are most important at the end) and others from going unpaid. So we won\'t send the question-asker your solution until you\'ve been paid. No worries.'
faq[28]='Q: The question I\'m answering has its bounty listed as \'Negotiable\'. What does that mean?
A: A \'Negotiable\' bounty means that you can haggle with the user who posted the question. If you write a long, ultra-detailed solution to their problem and feel as though your solution deserves more than they asked for, you can ask for more. If you are feeling nice and don\'t mind being paid less than they\'re asking for, you can do that. This is all available for questions with \'Negotiable\' bounties. '
faq[40]='Q: Can I answer my own questions?
A: Well, see if you can answer the current question.... Time\'s up. No, you cannot answer your own questions. That would be pointless.'
faq[30]='Q: Explain this Purchase Solution thing
A: When asking a question or when browing other user\'s questions, you may find a solution you want to purchase. We provide you with a random 20% sample of the solution so you can ensure it looks good. If you decide you want to buy it, all you have to do is click "Buy Solution" and we\'ll send you the complete text of the solution as well as placing it in your Solution Bucket.'
faq[31]='Q: How can I tell if a user\'s solution is what I want?
A: In order to make sure you end up buying a solution you\'ll be happy with, we provide you with a number of ways of verifying the quality of a solution. First, we provide you with a random 20% sample of their solution. This is provided so that you can look over the general quality of their writing and their solution\'s depth of knowledge. We also provide a summary of the solution\'s total overall length and the number of attached images or files it may have. We also recommend looking at a user\'s previous comments. These comments are left by others who have purchased solutions from this user before, and they have rated user based on their provided solutions. '
faq[36]='Q: I\'ve bought my solutions now what?
A: Nothing! You\'e done! After purchasing the solutions, we provide you with the complete solution. All that\'s left for you to do is to rate the quality of the solution you\'ve purchased, so that other users can see what you thought!'
faq[32]='Q: Explain this My Balance thing
A: \'My Balance\' is the section of your account that keeps track of the money you have in your Student of Fortune account. We\'d like to emphasize something here: This is real money! The money you earn by answering other user\'s questions is deposited here, and you can withdraw from it at any time. You can also deposit funds from outside sources into your Student of Fortune account in order to ask your own questions of the Student of Fortune community. '
faq[33]='Q: Do I have to pay money to start answering questions?
A: No! You can sign up for a Student of Fortune account and immediately start answering questions, thereby earning money. No initial deposit is required. Pretty cool.'
faq[35]='Q: I\'m having problems with My Balance
A: Please contact our support department. We\'ll deal with it as quickly as we possibly can. And please, be as descriptive as you possibly can in order to aid our support personnel in helping you. It\'ll be great, we promise.'
faq[41]='Q: Explain the Solution Bucket to me
A: The Solution Bucket is a place where we put all the solutions you\'ve purchased in the past so you can refer back to them later. When you purchase a solution to a question, we email the complete text of the solution as well as placing it in the Solution Bucket.Simply think of the Solution Bucket as a repository of all the solutions you\'ve purchased in the past.'
faq[42]='Q: What is this Bounty Hunter thing? It sounds scary.
A: The Bounty Hunter is a pretty simple idea. When you register for the site, you select your Major(s)/Minor(s). All the Bounty Hunter does is randomly select questions we might think are interesting to you based off this choice. You can modify the way that we select these questions for you by specifying a minimum bounty and such, but the Bounty Hunter is mostly there to show you random questions in your areas of interest. Technology is so cool.'
