I posted a question several days ago, and no researchers were
interested in answering it, even though I bid $200 to have it
answered.  This is the question
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=741466

Please tell me what I can change about the question to have it (or its
version) answered.  Would you be able to answer it for me if I were to
split it into two questions: one for the first 3 countries and the
other for the second set of 3 countries, and offer $200 for each of
the two questions (it would only make sense for me to do this if I
could be sure that I would get the info for all 6 countries)?  Or
perhaps I would get better results if I were to remove the phrase "The
answer should include a justification for why you assigned a
particular company to a given industry."
from the question?  

Please Help

Posting a separate question for each nation (six questions in all)
might be the best way to go.

The thing is that this information only has value to me if I have the
info for all 6 nations.  I am worried that if I have 6 questions, then
I might get one of them not answered, and then I would have wasted my
money.

Also, would there be any takers if I were to offer $75 per nation?  

Thanks

By the way, today I tried to get this question answered by placing it
into "Economics" section.  It used to be in "Finance"...

Don't worry about the category in which the question is placed. Most
Google Answers Researchers do not limit themselves to a certain
category, but choose their questions from a common queue that is
time-sorted (questions with the most recent activity being at the top
of the heap).

Speaking of time-sorted questions, I just gave your earlier question a
boost to the top of the time-sorted queue by briefly locking and
unlocking it. This is not the kind of question that I'm good at, but I
hope someone will accept the challenge.

Exacly!  And researchers similarly worry that they won't be able to
find all six (in multiple languages, no less), and will have wasted a
good deal of time and effort.
