This might help.

As you can see the ^posts table contains a selchildid field. It is nullable foreign key that references the very same table. So, for a given question, when that field is null then the question has no selected answer. When it is assigned a value different than null then the question has a best answer selected. The value, in this case, would be the id of the answer that was selected as best.
