To give people time to enter, this will start on May 1st, UTC at midnight.

Rules: To stay in the competition, you must:

  • answer an unanswered question not asked by you AND receive an upvote for your answer.
  • once the upvote has occurred (and not earlier)), edit the latest answer on this page for the date in question, and someone else can review and confirm.
  • IF there are no unanswered questions at all (hah), then and only then can you answer a previously-answered question for your 'day'.
  • IF the question you answer is marked as a duplicate on the same 'day', your answer is invalidated.
  • IF the question you answered is put on hold by the community on the same 'day', your answer is invalidated.
  • IF you are part of a previous ongoing Answerathon, and it's still going, you CANNOT use the same answer to enter more than one competition. You'll have to answer a new question for each.

Each 'day' will last for 48 hours. So May 1st-2nd inclusive is a day, May 3rd-4th is a day, and so on.

Miss a 'day' and you're out.

However, please - if we finally hit a day where you can't answer something with a proper answer, i.e. with a citation or evidence or something useful to the author, don't post a weak answer on a question.

I'll provide the sample answer template below for May 1st. If you intend to enter, put your name there now and prepare for battle :)

  • While the rules make sense for the site it makes the competition a lot harder just process wise. Oh well.

  • I think he means in terms of tracking. But in reality it's the same - just check at end of 'day' that they have upvotes and the question isn't closed. All good.
