As we've now got our unanswered down to <40 questions, doing pretty well, how about we spend a month helping out Expats?

The winner will be the one with the most answers with upvotes on previously unanswered questions.

The catch: You can't answer a new question until a previous one has TWO upvotes. Then you can include it in your list below, and answer a new one.

Thoughts? It'll give some of us more exposure to expats, and help them with their beta.

  • You can't answer a new question until a previous one has uproots. <= uproots? You mean you need to wait for an upvote?

    How do you calculate the Rank without manual counting? Is there a browser script? I got tired updating the Travel.SE rank :)

  • @JonathanReez manual counting :( It's easier as we answer more questions, and we get closer to the top ;)

  • Also if anyone feels enthralled by the idea, going through the unanswered questions and looking for potential close-vote questions helps as well.

  • Do only answers on previously unanswered questions count?

  • What's the formula for the rank? I could create a sede query for it.
    – JoErNanO Mod
    Commented Sep 30, 2015 at 5:08
  • @JoErNanO presumably just ordered by %answered. I don't think it's particularly fancy.

    @JonathanReez The list view kinda makes it easier to count the ranks. Don't know if I can make a SEDE query for this since it's kinda of a cross-site information.

  • Any more recent stats updates on this? Or did the competition fizzle out?
