Usually on the front page I see most questions with definitive answers but some will never get accepted. I was just curious how many question we have versus how many accept answers.

    That's much higher than I would have guessed. I wonder how that stacks up to other exchanges.

My calcuation works out to the same answer as Rarst's. Looking at a few other sites, WordPress seems very close to average. The maximum ratio (79%) is held by French and the minimum ratio (26%) belongs to Patents. The distribution looks like this:

    It is curious that we fall close to average since our overall answered rate (accepted or upvoted) has been historically low-ish. I wonder if we are slacking on upvoting viable but not accepted answers.
