It appears that you have three questions open. Off the top of my head,
and in a completely unofficial manner, here are my thoughts.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This looks like a complex question which may take several hours of
work. You might try raising the price, or simplifying the question.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

http://www.answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=728339

This is almost certainly not answerable, since the information does
not appear to be available. I do not think there is even enough data
for a credible estimate to be made.

This question appears to be badly underpriced. I can't speak for
everyone, but I expect to be able to answer a $4 question in fifteen
minutes or less. Finding the information you're seeking is likely to
take much longer than that. In addition, the terms 'best' and
'prestige' are subjective and hard to pin down, which makes it
difficult for us to know whether you are likely to be satisfied with
our findings.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

These are a few things you might do to increase the likelihood of
getting a good answer:

1. Increase the price to make the project more attractive to Researchers.

2. Define your terminology so that there are fewer nebulous elements.

3. Ask only one clearly-defined question at a time.

Thank you pinkfreud-ga, I will take your valuable advice.

But tell me please: If I'll raise the bid, will my question appear
"blinking" anywhere?

Best,
Romko-ga.

Raising your price doesn't cause anything to blink, but it does place
the question at the top of the time-sorted queue from which Google
Answers Researchers choose their questions. It will appear at the head
of the queue, as if it were a new question.

I'll add to Pinkfreud's comments -- not only will a new question
appear at the top of the time-sorted queue, but also you can sort
questions by price, as well, which would make a higher-priced question
appear closer to the top of the queue even if it gets overlooked at
first.  I'll often check the time-sorted queue for the first couple of
pages, and then switch to a price-sorted view to make sure I haven't
overlooked any high-value questions.

This is very annoying.

I clarified my questions plus added a value to the bid,

but still - nothing.

Romko, 

Your question about law schools has been answered. Your question about
"People who answer for a living" is, as I have explained, probably not
answerable. Your question about ISPs is a complex, multi-part question
that might probably do better if each part were posted separately, or
if the price were increased significantly.
