Or a tier higher - for SO points. Whenever a question is not answered, throwing a few hundred/thousand points at a bounty gives you so much attention, I don't think you'd be able to get a better answer for money.

If average pay for a dev is x per hour, I wonder if you could work out how much one SO point is worth based on how much time invested to get the bounty
