If you missed the earlier posts, I originally proposed this here and some details were ironed out here.

Welcome to the first-ever Mi Yodeya answerathon!

The goal here is to answer as many unanswered, open, non-negative questions as possible and get your answers upvoted (i.e. a net +1). Once the contest starts, you must post every day1 and get an upvote within 24 hours of posting to remain in the contest.2 Once all but one person is knocked out, the contest is over!

What’s the prize for playing, you ask? Potentially, thousands of reputation points, from 10 points for every upvoted answer, plus submissions to our preexisting Best Answer Contest and bounty for old questions.3

How do you play? All you have to do is find a question from this list and post an answer. The more questions you answer, the better your chances of staying in (and the better your chances of gaining rep). In a previous draft, the link was to all unanswered questions, not just those which were from before the competition started. All existing posts are grandfathered in, but take note of this henceforth.

On each day of the competition, I will post an answer on this thread with the date at the top. Once you’ve gotten an upvote on an answer, add your name to the bottom of that post with a link to your answer.

The competition will start on this Sunday, January 20, Erev Tu BiShvat.

Have fun!

Congratulations to Alex on winning the Answerathon!

You all can go celebrate over here.

1”Day” starting and ending at midnight UTC.

2Friday and Saturday are counted as one day, and, by extension, any answers posted on Friday get 48 hours rather than 24 to get an upvote.

3What’s the prize for winning, you ask? Uh, um, uh, bragging rights?

  • @DonielF it's tucked away in the advanced settings, so it's not surprising that a lot of people don't know it's there. I'm sorry for not realizing earlier that you were looking for that; I was traveling last week so mostly using a phone when a lot of the earlier discussion happened.

    @msh210 I figured we’d discuss PTIJ if it becomes an issue. Questions from after the competition starts are disqualified, and questions that are closed are obviously disqualified as well. So unless a future Answerathon is deliberately scheduled to begin during PTIJ it wouldn’t be an issue.

    Just in case this contest does go that long, heads-up that there is a PTIJ question from a past year that I intend to reopen this year. (I asked it late in the season so it didn't have much of a chance.)

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALEX!

Addendum from Monica: I have some small prizes, supplied by SE, for this contest. (The big prize, of course, is all the excellent answers we got!) If you participated in this contest and would like to receive a nice SE-branded notebook, please comment here giving me permission to use your email address on file or give a different way of reaching you. You can immediately delete the comment and only moderators will be able to see it.

I will use the information you supply only to communicate with you about getting you your prize.

    Reaching Purim Torah season doesn't seem as unlikely now as it once did...
    – Monica Cellio
    Feb 13, 2019 at 22:06
  • @DoubleAA 3348 questions remain. If Isaac and Alex continue at one question per day, at this rate it'll take about four and a half years to exhaust the question pool. Average of two questions per day, the maximum for this entire competition thus far, and it'll just take about 26 months. For this to fully exhaust before PTIJ season, each of them would have to answer 80 questions per day. (Calendar day, not competition day.) Anyway, there's no actual prize for winning, so I guess if a day comes that neither of them can answer, they can split the bragging rights?

    @mbloch I think he means a Questionathon. I think that’s an absolutely terrible idea, TBH. The point here is to encourage people to attack old questions, which they have been doing. There’s no reason why we should encourage people to post new questions; they come in at a steady enough rate as it is.

    – Kazi bácsi
    Feb 17, 2019 at 15:59
  • 1
    @Kazibácsi There are 86 new questions over this past week. 43 of them are open with a score of 2+, and 64 of them are open with a nonnegative score. I think 74.4% is a decent good question rate. The problem with a Questionathon is post quality. By questions, it’s much more difficult ahead of time, especially for new users, the quality of a question. Answers are much easier to gauge, since we require sources. If you can demonstrate that something like this is needed and can find a way to apply this without making the issue worse, I’d support such a project.
    – DonielF
    Feb 17, 2019 at 16:09
  • @DonielF Lately I had the impression that a few questioners are going for the quantity rather than the quality. That's why I thought somehow we might incentivise good questions.

    @Kazibácsi Then go ahead and post a suggestion on Meta. I’ll dig up some statistics for you B”N; I’ve been doing that anyway recently to see how the Answerathon has affected other types of posts anyway.

    Feb 17, 2019 at 16:13
  • @DonielF I'm just raising my concern. I don't know how to handle it precisely, my suggestion was just one of the possible solutions.
    – Kazi bácsi
    Feb 17, 2019 at 16:19
  • @Kazibácsi So Meta.MY proper is where you should raise it, and maybe discuss your potential solution while leaving open to other ones.
    – DonielF
    Feb 17, 2019 at 16:21
  • @Kazibácsi you are right that one user has a tendency to throw lots of questions which typically get little positive feedback. If you take his questions out of the calculation, I agree with Doniel that overall we have a nice flow of questions

    With the rules being what they are (possible to answer questions from the same day), this could go on forever. We might need one small adjustment to the rules to prevent this. I have not used this trick of course, but it technically would allow someone answering one fresh question a day to stay in the running forever cc: @DonielF

    I added shmu (and kouty) on day 1 when I saw their answers. I had misunderstood the comment discussion and didn't check question dates. I don't know if either of them has done anything directly to participate in the contest since I left them comments telling them about it (when I added them that day). Sorry if I contributed to complicating things.
    – Monica Cellio
    Jan 23, 2019 at 18:21
  • @MonicaCellio It’s just shmu who would be affected by this; kouty’s question was posted two days before the competition opened. For next time I really like the suggestions to limit it to questions from at least a week before, but that’s not for now to discuss.

Way I did it was to take a tag where I wanted to relearn halachot (in my case shabbat, aveilut and kashrut) and used the query above combined with the tag, then sorted questions by votes, then scanned them to find interesting questions to answer.

    I vote to stop earlier rather than later. Feels a bit contrived to me at this stage, less fun and a bit forced. At least for me. I have 5 questions written up but don't plan to write more. Thanks for checking in

    @mbloch Hence why I suggest just one more day, if everyone who's left agrees.

    I'm happy to continue until I run out of questions to answer. But if others want to end it I won't object.

    I am riding a wave of קנאת סופרים and using it to motivate myself to keep exposing more of R' Hirsch's insights each day. I don't want to drop off until I have to.

    @DonielF what's the advantage of declaring an early end? If people are tired they will stop posting

    @DoubleAA Rate of posting answers is slowing. Thought I’d offer.

  • @DonielF isn't that the point of the contest? No one needs you to stop it. If they don't want to post they won't.

  • @DoubleAA Of course. Just wanted to make sure they knew that and weren’t feeling forced. If they’re still enjoying, certainly we’ll let them enjoy.

  • Okay, I’m not that late. But now it’s my turn to ask you about the Community Wiki button. :)

    Oops, thanks. And it wasn't a criticism; I was here, I noticed, I figured I could help too. Feel free to change the text.

  • Certainly not complaining about an extra set of hands. Especially after I told everyone to forever hold their keyboards. I guess that’s my own fault, then. :)

    It was fun while it lasted, but I’m out. Good luck to the remaining competitors. May the best man (or woman or dog) win.

    @Kazibácsi I count even more - those are just the questions that qualify their posters for the competition, but many of us posted several a day for a good chunk of this.

    I voted against ending it early - let it go on until someone wins!

    @IsaacMoses Well apparently it represents people wanting to keep this going or not. Not quite my intention, but sure, why not.

    Just logged on and saw this. I’m fairly indifferent at this point. Happy to go with whatever the other remaining competitors want. I’m feeling like I may end up droppping out quite soon anyway...

    @DonielF The post says it will be the last day. I disagree with that, so I downvoted the post.

    "If everyone left agrees" -- it looks like at least one participant doesn't agree.
