Here's a good trick: Go the badges page, look at the people with the 'Unsung Hero' badge, sort their answers by votes, and look at the zero vote ones. Upvoting these can clear a lot of questions from the queue quite quickly.

@Potato Actually, that's not a good idea. Upvoting more than a few answers of the same user will likely get those upvotes reversed by the serial voting script.

This is why I work through lists of UQs with zero-score answers organized by tag, not by answerers. There's a pinned query on the left which provides such a list.

Speaking of tags: time for more statistics. The most-unanswered tags with at least 1000 questions (only those with >20% UQs are listed):

optimization: 32%
stochastic-processes: 31.3%
numerical-methods: 30.3%
statistics: 29.8%
pde 27.7%
differential-geometry: 27%
probability-distributions: 26.8%
fourier-analysis: 26%
algebraic-topology: 25.5%
representation-theory: 25.3%
algebraic-geometry: 24.9%
algorithms: 23.3%
differential-equations: 22.1%
probability-theory: 21.6%
functional-analysis]: 20.8%

Hm, I see a trend here. Why do you hate analysis, prob/stats and applied math, people? :-D
